Well back in jan 2020 I had the ted job of swapping out the front suspension on the mrs 500 sport!
if you know you know 😂
anyways it’s that time again I’ve got to do it again as we live in London (speed bump city)
The cars getting knocking on the n/s front so going to just replace the lower arms drop links and shocks.

last time i replaced the following,
drops links, anti roll bar bushes lower arms and febi top mounts.
all the parts were branded parts apart from the lower arms.
i Didn’t replace the shocks at the time as these were still in good nick,
but now the shocks are starting to mist and the dust cover on the nearside is not in the best condition.

anyone recommend a good set of shocks that ain’t silly money but also not gonna clap out after 6 months?
same with the lower arms as I would prefer to just replace instead of struggling to get the bushes out,
poly bushes is not an option lol


thanks guys
 
6 years ago I replaced everything on the front, Lemforder lower arms and top mounts Monroe springs Sachs shocks Febi drop links, one of the springs snapped a years or so ago, all was quiet for 3 years however it now makes a noise over speed humps I think it's either the springs in the cups or the shocks, if I change again think I'd go for Bilstein
