Front Shock Turrets

<< < (2/2)

Bob696:
as clbarclay said get a spare turret securing ring AND the nuts for it whilst you are at it (  I forgot the nuts and they are some strange thread or other that I could match from my box of hundreds of nuts so I had to pay a return visit to the spares shop)

I also found it usfull to use a high lift to lift the body up whilst supporting the weight of the axle on a trolly jack and axle stand. It takes the need to compress the shock out of the equation.

clbarclay:
I didn't mean the actual spring seats (i've never had a problem with the seat its self), My suspicion was the part under the spring seat that is welded to the rest of the axle, it also has the captive nuts fixed to it for holding the pring seat on. Unfortunatly in my experiance this seams a far more common problem. :evil:


If this is the case then its a fabrication job :roll: , involving:
Welding
Grinding
Drilling
etc.


Or if you don't have the tools/time then its either replacement axle or a garage job.
