Think it's time

For me to hang my spanners up, it took me two hours to change a front strut today, to me that's slow, it should have only taken an hour and half max. Laughing Laughing Laughing

Its not like the good old days when a strut could be removed by removing 5 nuts.

I changed the front struts on the LR2 and I tried the method where you pry down the lower control arm.

Next time (In another dozen years) I will be releasing the Ball joint.


The good news is that I won't have to do it for another 12 years.


Good luck

Paul

I bought Bilstein B4

Those are similar to what came originally with my LR2

They did firm the ride back to where it was 14 years ago

I haven’t installed the rear yet but I got B4 for that day


Take care m
