Rear Susp Advice!

[clock34]

just a warning to all out their luckily who own seicentos.....

if its 11 years old and still runing the original shocks then dont even attempt to take them off!!!!.

9 hours later and 3 bolts undone YAY.

NO way im ever doing that again lol the metal sheith inside the shockers bush was rusted to the nut so even when ground off they were a pita to get off...


(shockers were that dead they wouldnt even move due to rust).





massive cudos to jatkinson for driving twice down with bolts and nuts and even staying till 11pm in the cold helping put it right.... on the pluss side praise the lowerd.

ooh yes, I recall doing the cinq's not a fun job! Took me hours to do mine, but worth it in the end.

I rember changin the Shocks when I had the Sei.
What a B*****D it was, although compared to changing the bushes, the shocks seem not so bad.
Best thing is the Shocks were going to be binned so I payed SFA for them.

was 3 bolts that where the issue one actually came out completely fine!.

hands are hurting today and body aching. oh what fun.

hoping the front drops the rear more as its way higher than i wanted atm .

[clock34]

[The Bigman]

Sore one. But then wish you filmed it ;0)

Hows the car feeling now?

 

[clock34]

cars feeling ok, tbf the original susp was rusted solid at the rear and fronts so it was always stiff beyond beleif so if anything it has more give now, but a much better feel,

did the fronts today so its all sitting abit lower, jsut need some tyres and a few other goodies.

 

[Andi9386]

So don't trust James with power tools then....
