Spoon_tuned Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Update ****************Right so yesterday the weather was good so i started cracking i wanted to adjust the suspension all round adjust the spring rate as it was very stiff so managed to get the rear strut brace off and get the rear suspension off which didnt take 10 minutes. i wanted to strip the coilovers right down and give them a real good clean but i didnt have time as the postman came to bring me my cv joints that i ordered from Tuning Developments ordered friday here monday morning what great service cheers MIKE I had to get my cv joints done as they were knocking really bad so i cracked on with them managed to get one side off no issues but could'nt get the driveshaft out of the other side so i changed the cv joint with the driveshaft still in after i sorted that i adjusted the front suspension and it's so much better than before still got alot more stuff to do but all in good time here's some pictures enjoy Edited January 8, 2013 by Spoon_tuned Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spoon_tuned Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Not alot going on recently as the weather has been bad again. still having a few issues with a creeking noise and a slight knock on the front left hand side so when the money in the bank i'm going to get the following Ball JointsTrack Rod Ends hopefully it might be one of these could be something else unsure atm the arb bushes are fine as there near new so don't think it will be them.plus my power steering belt has started squeeling when cold which the previous owner gave me a new original bolt to replace it as it was bent. I'll post a few more pictures up and a video very soon here's one i found a few weeks ago enjoy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
