Renewing suspension components

[gary_j]

I'm in the middle of renewing parts for the front of my suspension as im on 80k and things are getting a bit worn.

So far i have bought:

Polyrace middle wishbone bushes
pugsport group n rear wishbone bushes
powerflex arb bushes
ball joints
drop links

Is it worth renewing anything else? (apart from shocks, springs & top mounts)

Looking around i have come across these,i didnt know if these were worth replacing?

Track rod ends
steering arms
Steering Rack Central Ball Joint & Bushes
Wheel bearings

Cheers, gareth

Hmmm...

OK, chaning all the bushes for some better ones is a good thing. But from your list, it looks like you've gone a little OTT mate. ;)

When it comes to track rod ends, ball joins, drop links, etc, I wouldn't replace these unless you need to. Otherwise, you're gonna be paying for your TV licence in monthly instalments. :)

Im just trying to replace parts that are worn & get it done in one go.
Im not very happy with the way it handles at the moment & think something is wrong. Everyone says how well the sporty 106/saxo's handle!
I also get a knocking noise from the front so will hopefully cure that problem aswell!
