Philuk 0 Posted October 30, 2007 it is advised that you use spring compressors when you are doing someinth like taking the springs apart from the shockers . Not a necessity but advised, a "twanging" ( what a nice word) spring could result in a night in hospital lol especially if y or your mates whoever is the unfortunate one to have to push down, just happens to slip or let go :shocked!: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted October 31, 2007 its pretty straight forward job rear shocks have 1 bolt at bottom and you need to undo mount at top, remove parcel shelf supports first front is similar, two bolts on bottom of strut, undo top mounts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
