Guide: Front Suspension / Spring / Coilover change

[ginge191]

I do this without removing the track rod end from the hub, might be worth giving it a go this way in case it starts to spin (same as drop link bolt spinning) when undoing or putting back on.

More worrying is the brake line getting in the way and being stretched/caught on bottom of strut / top of hub, so for the sake of two bolts undo the calliper and get it and the flexi out the way.

Of course your milage may vary...

I found with my friends 306 (phase 2, 1.8), he's just had new springs put in from halfrauds, as they're settling he's getting a loose top bolt, i tried to tighten whilst still on the car, and the inner-strut still spins, so even on the car you get spinning.

I maybe getting the wrong end of the conversation here...
