Hey guys.
My front suspension needs doing before my MOT at begining of March.
Looking at getting stuff ASAP - by tomorrow, and taking down to my mate who has a garage etc. I've never done suspension before, and he's got the stuff to do tracking and camber too....
That's the plan anyway. So I have some quotes, and I've read up what I can on the forum. Please say what you recommend.
The jobs that are "needed" as per Kwit-fit free suspension check (I know, kwik-fit are cowboys...) are:
Front Shocks and n/s wishbone bushes (replace whole arm). Having done bushes before without a press, I'd rather replace the whole thing!!
Given the prices below etc (which are on trade through a motor factor) do you suggest I do just the bare min, or both wishbones etc, if so, which ones? Also should I do springs and droplinks while I'm at it and get the whole lot done....
Shocks - Sachs - £50.99 each
Springs - Sachs - £25.50 each
Wishbone - Qdrive - £36.50 each
Wishbone - "original" (I'm waiting to find out what brand) - £47.95 each
Droplinks - Lemforder - £13.25 each (these are the official ones right?)
Droplinks - Qdrive - £6.50 each
Also quote through unipart: (not trade and don't know brands)
Shocks £50 each
Springs £47 each
Wishbone £48 each "probably Firstline" (not good right?)
Droplinks £16.16 each
All not including VAT of course at 20%
What do you guys think? opinions?
Thanks in advance
