After having a front spring snap on my nieces 'new'car I decided to replace them with KYB ones.
No problem thought I.
How wrong can a man be...
So I removed the shock/strut unit,easy enough and took them to the garage I been going too for 35 years.
Units stripped and rebuilt, refitted only to find the top mounts had gone.
So off they came again and Febi tops mounts used.
Re-assembled and refitted along with new Febi anti roll bar bushes.
You might reasonably have thought that would be 'job done'. BUT no.
Back off again and after searching for help I located a fitting guide for the top mounts,from Kyb, showing the correct procedure.
So this morning I drove to the garage and helped remove the struts,remove and refit the top mount's, as per the kyb video instructions and after refitting it all ...Tracking and the job was done.
Now lets wait to see what next weeks mot brings...:slayer:
