Re: MOT 2moro
cheers highlander.
disc's, pads and new droplinks now fitted.
some1 kindly put copper grease all over the droplink bolts . they even put some on the inside od the bolt. cant believe how easy they come off
was a simple case of ratcheting them off and put new ones on. took all of 3 minutes do each link
took it for a test drive. no more clunking

Re: MOT 2moro
Apart from the fact the struts will have to be stripped, both sides, you can bet the other top mount wont be far behind.......Gary406 wrote:on top bearing on nearside strut
Could be a fair bit of labour?

Re: MOT 2moro
just getting the one side done welly. if other goes soon after then will have that done wen it goes. it could last another 10 month. who knows ?
taking the one strut off is not hard. cant see it being more than 1 hours labour ?
