    front shock removal question

    My order from RPD has just arrived, the bump stop comes with the gaitor (dust boot) attached. I think there might be a difference between the gaitor set up with the 197/200 as well as the early top mounts & the later top mount set up, from the diagram they sent me the bump stop looks to come...

    Yes Ive already taken the scuttle panel off and cleaned out the bulkhead drains, mine was well blocked on the drivers side, I detected this with a pool of water in the bay just behind the area behind were the top mounts are. I thought id try removing the wipers / scuttle panel and the plastic...

    front shock removal question

    Thanks Suj, I really appreciate your help, Its not a job Im planning on rushing as Ive never done it before, so no doubt Ill hit a few issues, but planning and thinking it out has helped, last time I jacked up the front which wasn't that long ago I gave the brakes a good clean down and luckily...

    front shock removal question

    This makes sense, thank you so much! Its good to discuss with people in the know. Mines an early 200 Im going to build up from new, as on the OSF the strut is misting oil and on the NSF it sounds like the top mount bearing is shot, so the plans to build up and swap straight over. Ill update...

    front shock removal question

    Good evening, I was looking on RPD for the top mounts, I haven't ordered yet though, Im not sure if this is all included in the top mount kit then? Top mount > bump stop > top mount bearing > dust boot. I know you have to get the dust boot separately though. Its just if the bump stop and...

    front shock removal question

    Am I right in thinking, that from the top of your picture where the suspension parts are laid out that from the top, the 3 parts are part of the top mount kit? Based on the link (which is a massive saving over the price on pure motor sports) Im going with the Eibach Pro's I was leaning towards...

    front shock removal question

    Ill be interested to find out how it goes so keep me posted, Im on a 59 plate so Im on the early top mounts. The prices on that site are a bit of a no brainer so ill defo be ordering some parts from there in the future! My projects are suspension and then exhaust, which Id like to open...

    front shock removal question

    What thats a real bargain at that price, thanks for the link! Am I right in thinking that the springs will fit either the standard or cup struts? I thought you had to specify when ordering as the springs are slightly different, am I right in thinking that or is that nonsense? I have to say...

    front shock removal question

    Im glad youve had success with changing the front struts, Im still to do mine but will be back on here reading up and following the process youve outlined on here. Im still yet to decide on which springs to go with, Eibach or the H&R, I do like the lowered stance but clearly handling has to not...

    front shock removal question

    Sorry to hear you hit a few issues, Im going to have to order fresh top mounts when it comes to doing mine, rust had definitely kicked in when I took of the scuttle panel and inspected the tops of the top mounts. Out of interest what springs are you going with, have you decided to go with...

    front shock removal question

    First of all I hope you dont mind me jumping on your thread Scalino65 but this is of interest to me and its really good to get your opinions on this. I have seen another thread of who runs what suspension set up on here but coil overs are out of my budget, I am in favour of the Eibach springs...

    front shock removal question

    Im going to attempt the removal by compressing the spring first off as this seems like the safest option to me, Im not that confident of removing the hub carrier incase of pulling the drive shafts out, Ive seen a YouTube video demonstrating this, and laughing aside id be devastated. Its a job...

    front shock removal question

    This is an interesting topic, one of which ive been trying to research myself for some time as I am going to have to replace the front shocks at some point due to an advisory. Ive also read on here and seen the pictures to confirm that by compressing the spring enables you to be able to remove...
