Lowering Suspension

[DazzyA]

Am thinking of getting the old girl lowered a bit. Is this a job for the garage or nice and easy diyer?

Its not to bad mate the rear is easy, the front can be a pit of a pain in the
ar$e but not to bad u have to take the leg off which means spitting lower ball joint and track rod end.

need the right tools then. I'm sure a read somewhere in the distance past about someone getting their leg broken by one of the springs!
It was my front I was thinking of doing, bummer.

You'll need some spring compressors obviously, & either a decent balljoint splitter or a cheap one, a big hammer & some new wishbones & track rod ends! It's a good chance to renew all those bits & do the TCA bushes at the same time...

Nothing difficult about it, just take your time

Cheers for that, may have a look when it warms up a bit. Could always get the wife to hold the springs!
