Suspension Renewal - what parts?

[Mattie]

the cars goin in for its MOT soon and i was thinking of renewing some of the parts like calipers and suspension etc, as im pretty sure alot of the parts are OE from when it first rolled out the garage at reno!

anyway my question is what should i look to renew in terms of suspension components ie bearings, shocks etc?

the springs have already been changed :)

[Mattie]

mint as in new mate? only interested in new otherwise might as well keep mine as there still good for a few more miles yet

[Laine_16v]

Wazza's have 58k miles on them.

depends how much money you want to spend, you could go the whole hog and get every bushe/ball joint/bearing/shocker/caliper/spring etc

or just replace all 4 shockers, make sure the ball joints/track rods/bearings are in good working order, same with calipers too

as said really depends on what you want to spend, mine williams has all new shockers/springs/arb bushes/wishbones/ball joints/bearings/calipers/discs/pads lol pretty much new now! :lol:

I have pretty much everything waiting to go on mine but i would recommend new shocks (£30 each), new wishbones inc bushes and balljoint (£55 each) and ARB bushes (£5 each).
