We are still MEN

Part two! The previous post was getting a bit unwieldy in the editing stage.

Sigh. Now we had to put everything back together.

Springs go on...



If springs don't go on, use more force...



Need... more... tools...



Once you've assembled your new suspension, make sure all the bolts are carefully torqued up properly using a torque wrench.



The wheels can then be re-attached. You should ensure at this point that your helpers are still playing ball.






Hurrah! Just the boot lining to put back in place now.



Now for the escape.




This is what the underside of my car now looks like - well, until I drive to Bath again. Look at the shiny new components! All in all, a tremendously satisfying day and a real difference to the ride quality of my car. It should even pass an MOT now.

Everything more hammers then everything else. I approve.

So how many engineers does it take to fix your suspension.... I see a light bulb style joke coming on...
