How 2: Change Suspension

[Idrees]

I've been promising to do this for a while so I'll do it now seen as I'm quite board.

I did this suspension on a 1995 GT Turbo, it will be the same for the EP91 (Speaking from experience)

This seemed a pretty straight forward precedure but may not be for some.

Heres the buggy before:

1) Rear wheels off and the car on Axle stands. Remember not to put them on the actual axle though

2) This is the first nut/bolt I opened. I used a 14mm spanner on the nut and slackened the bolt with a 14mm socket on a rachet.

3) Once thats done on both sides, the axle will drop down.

4) Now open the top nuts and the suspension will drop out.

Heres the new rears

5) Put the new suspension in place and put the bottom nut and bolt in. I used plenty of copper grease on that

6) Once the suspension is bolted on to the axle, get the car jack and slowly lift the rear axle in to place. Watch the top mounts to make sure they're going in the right direction!

7) Once the suspension looks to be in place, get the nuts on.

Drop the car down and ensure the top nuts are tight. Don't forget to fit the wheels back on though!!

Now for the fronts. Get the car up on axle stands and wheels off.

1) Open these nuts/bolts

2) And take off the bolt holding the brake pipe in place. (12mm if I remember correctly)

3) Then undo the top nuts and the suspension will drop out.

4) Fit the new suspension the same way!! Don't forget to get the brake lines back on too.

Heres how the car looked when lowered!

Feel free to correct me if I've gone wrong somewhere.
