Coilover fitting help

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, planning to fit my news coilovers if the weather isn't too bad this weekend.

 

I've looked on here but can't find any guides on how to fit them.

 

Anybody got one I can use?

 

Thanks,

Pete.

Firstly mate, get yourself some spring compressors (assuming your taking springs and shocks off), it will help in the aid of removing the old setup. If it is the original suspension you're taking off make sure you have a metal bar handy as the nuts where the bottom of the front struts attach to the hub can be a pain to get off.

 

Also make sure you replace the top mounts on all 4 corners and also the donut bearings on the fronts - best to do it now whilst its all off. You'll also need a deep set spanner (22mm i think) for the top nuts on the front.

 

Make sure you remember what order the nuts, bearings and mounts go in. Other then that its pretty straight forward.

 

Oh and you'll need to get a 4 wheel laser alignement done once its all refitted.

 

Good luck
