Re: Suspension Options

[maldat]

Yeap ripp off..   Font shock inscerts  $150 max per pair. rubber bump stops about $20  get used ones for free. rear shocks about $150 pair .   rear sub frame neoprane is about $150 set.   Buy a 1/2 drive scoket set and a big hammer for the subframe bush's and a bench vice so you can put the new ones in. O and a pair of spring compressure's for the front.   or use 240K front springs and cut them so you can just start the top nut(with no tools) ,then they will not rattle when the car is jacked up and with cutting them in half weight is nice for a 510.   Malcolm "Gee mod up a whole 510 for a grand"     ----- Original Message ----- From: Robyn McCaughan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 15, 2003 3:28 PM Subject: Suspension Options Hi All, Took my car to Pedders (I know, bad me) yesterday for a 28 point check... I knew it needed a wheel alignment and I thought they could shed some light on why it wanders. Current suspension is very stiff, front more so than the back. Blah blah blah, they said it would never be 100% but if I was to replace all bushes with rubber it would certainly help and that my current wheels and tyres (TRX rims wearing 195/55/15 tyres) weren't exactly helping matters. Here's the list of failures and the quote to replace them...  Front shocks $250 ,Front bump stops $87, Rear shocks $148, Subframe mounts $147, Wheel Alignment $60. So including labour of $480 the grand total comes to $1172! Does anyone else think this is a bit rich? Anyway, options? Do I shop around for a better price (any ideas on who else to go to in the ACT, pref Belco but will travel if necessary) or do I get the front end done first and the back when I can afford it...  - Robyn     ninemsn Extra Storage is now available. 30MB of storage on ninemsn Groups - great for sharing photos and documents.
