Hello folks,

Im going to overhaul the front suspension links and bushes etc, but is this possible to do yourself or are there special tools required?

I will change out for a Meyle HD kit in the coming weeks hopefully.

Hmmm.... i guess thats a 'not' then....

I did mine myself. Hardest part Is getting the old parts off

Not a problem if you can get the upper control arm pinch bolt out. They tend to resist removal

Yep the upper arm pinch bolts are known to seize. I had all upper, lower arms and arb links replaced recently - one side was seized solid and would not shift even using blow torch, ended up with one new upright.

Agree on the pinch bolts. Mine were a real struggle when I fitted the adjustable spring kit. I doubt they would have come free without a lot of heat, Wurst Rost Off and a 4 post lift. I wouldn't try it at home personally.

Hi all, where are you sourcing your parts from? TPS? I found a complete Meyle HD kit of bushes and arms but never heard of them! :/
