Front Suspension Removal

Build Day 7

Having had the engine assessment back, it seems like a good idea to fully remove the front suspension and replace/refurbish as necessary.

The first step is to disconnect the gear selector mechanism which attached to the cross member.

With this detached the column has to be disconnected from the steering rack.

The font suspension is fixed to the body via four mounting bolts. Two at the front and two at the rear. While supporting the suspension with a Jack these bolts are undone and the whole assembly is then lowered and removed.
