#17: Re: Fitting coilovers? Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Jan 13, 2011 1:27 pm ---- Have a look on Euro Car Parts...could fit new top mounts. They seem to be about £60 ish these days. New bolts too and gearbox oil...the costs add up when doing it properly. DOn't forget to find a way to pull the hub off the wishbone ball joint...(see my pictures).

Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Thu Jan 13, 2011 1:32 pm ---- why gearbox oil? and bolts surely the old ones will do? i dont really have the money to be going doing all that and im pretty sure the garage i took it to before werent going to replace all these bits with the £180 that i was going to pay for them to fit them so im guessing they werent planning on doing any of this stuff :/
so is it really necessary to get new or can i manage on the old ones really? dont forget it is more for looks than anything i dont plan on running it round a track after

Nyloc nuts aren't supposed to be re-used and the nylon liner can sometimes fall out of the nut. I'm sure the garage wouldn't refit one that did though. Old crusty bolts sometimes need to be cut off too. I'd buy some new droplinks as well as they are definately best if replaced.
When the nearside strut is remove the driveshaft tends to come out leading to oil escaping.
Gearbox oil is a 75W80. I'd check that's the right because it's important to put the right grade in it, otherwise the gearchange becomes awful. Again there's some pictures of the correct oil in my Photobucket album. Last edited by Edward on Thu Jan 13, 2011 1:41 pm; edited 1 time in total

because you need to pop the driving shaft out
all self-locking nuts are not recommanded to re-use
