Back is done, on to the front (later in this thread)
Hey guys, Starting winter projects: Rear Brakes/Suspension are up first. -This is a street/daily driver. Just trying to get the sagging ass up and improve the ride quality. - So far I've got New: 100lb 914rubber upper and lower shock rubber bushings Plan is to buy: Rear control arm bushings (914Rubber) Rear Caliper Rebuild Kit (If that seems beyond me I will send to PMB) Discs and Pads will be addressed as needed once I get it all apart. Turn the discs if needed or replace with new pads. We shall see. Any suggestions on anything else with the rear brakes/suspension?? Thanks all! -Rob Front Suspension/Brakes will be part 2 of the project. Just trying to keep it manageable and on budget ish |

Stupid question for the night. Bilsteins going up front. Does this little rubber gasket go on between the strut and the top cover as like a bumper? or does it go on after the cover is on between the strut cover and the car? The little rubber gasket gets tossed. It's just there for shipping. Unlike Boge, there is no bumper under the cylindrical dust cover. Bilsteins have an internal bumper. Also, no oil in the strut housing like older strut inserts. All my info comes direct from Bilstein. |
