Front suspension/steering

Driver's side front suspension before

Passenger side front suspension before

• the driver's side spring was significantly weaker than the passenger side (although the gap was about the same)
• new springs, new inserts, new bump stops
• strut brace ready to fit
• front brakes are almost new (the discs will need some bedding back in)
• new steering damper - old one had leaked all over the suspension leg and made the bolts come undone easily; a partial win



old v new




• all steering joints checked and found to be in great condition

Ready for the new springs and inserts

So it's been dismantled ... with unusual foresight I bought new macpherson strut mounting bolts so future maintenance will a bit easier.

All great plans ... Oh dear!
