Quick question about changing the shocks and springs on an MK2 JTD. I dont know if its any different for the non JTD/HGT models etc.
Anyway, the rear suspention is self explanatory and just like doign a cinq/sei etc which ive done many a time.
However, the front top mounts look like nothing ive seen on any of my other cars. usualy there are 3 little bolts holding the strut onto the body at the top. the punto doesnt. it just has a circular cone like thing with the top bolt in the middle.
now im assuming that the cup thing is actually attatched to the body rather than the shock and so undoing the top bolt will release the strut from the body. but if this is the case then this will also release the spring which could be dangerous
can anyone explain how the top mounts are on an MK2 punto as I dont have a haynes yet
