Changing top links...

Post by MrJames »

Hello everyone I'm new here, after offering to help my mum out with her car I have a couple of quick questions
which I'd be very grateful if someone could answer for me :)

I've stuck the back end up on ramps to get under and give it all a good soak in oil and I was wondering....
Is it easier to replace the top links on ramps or with the car jacked up? Is it even possible on ramps without causing an accident? lol

Other question is does anyone know where to get the bolts from? Hoping I get both out OK but they're on back order with peugeot :(

Thank you for anyone that offers some answers :)

Hi and welcome :D

Personally, I would jack up the car and put it on axle stands, remove the wheels and do the job that way.

I got bored so went and changed them tonight, had the car on the ground to do the work wasn't that bad to do!

And no more bad noises or feeling like the rear of the car is being steered by someone else lol :)
