Finally got around to lowering the wagon using dobinson springs and KYB shocks, This job really needed doing as the ride height was way to high and she handled like a boat on account of the old shocks being 100% worn out
The Rears were the worst as you can see once compressed they werent come but up, and the fronts had lost most if not all the oil. there was a swimming pool of oil inside the struts when i took them out.
While taking out the fronts i noticed that the lower ball joints were damaged and the boots were no longer there, so i replaced them with a new set
Once the ball joints had been press fit into the control arms i was all set to put everything back together and i am really stoked with the results
pretty poor picture but she sits alot lower now and handles beautifully. I want to go lower in the future but this well tide me over for the moment
I also picked up a new set of wheels a couple days ago that i am really keen to fit on the car
They are Momo R3's (17x7.5 5/120 17,6p) 3 peice wheels. Just have to sell the cheviot tridents to get some cash to put towards some tires, If any one is interested in the tridents please dont hesitate to ask
