this info should be made into sticky.. if only i took some pics aswell to go with it...
tools required....
7mm allen key
sockets 16/17mm are the common sizes for the top nut
jack
spring compressors
the fronts...
- loosen wheel nuts
- jack up car
- take wheel off
- put on the spring compressors
- take out the bolts from the
lower suspension
- the hardest bit now is getting the suspension out of the
lower suspension arm
- now undo the top mounts and the suspension will come free from the car.
fitting the new suspension should be self explanatory since you've got the old suspension out.
The rears...
- loosen wheel nuts
- jack up car
- take wheel off
you will notice the rears have a seperate spring and shock
- compress the spring and then loosen the
lower bolt on the shock absorber
- the spring should come out now
- inside the wheel arch at the top of the shock are 2 bolts
- un-do these bolts and the shock absorber will come out
fitting the new spring and shock should now be self explanatory
hope this helps mate
as for getting it out of the
lower arm brut force and elbow grease, you can try levering it out, or smacking it with a big hammer lol, but it is a bitch to do.
