Post by: mcd840 on 14 April 2014, 18:35:07

oh well new set front springs it is then. also need to replace the inner drive shaft boot as its split. can i ask does removing the struts also affect allignment, seems to be alot of debate on this, some say no it doesnt, others like the guy that done my hunter 4 wheel allighnment says the allignment should be checked after doing anything with the susspension from replacing bushes etc.

cheers

Mainly the camber on the Vec B...

I have a pair of front springs here fora Vec B, but theyre for a V6, the dervs use the same springs as the V6's IIRC... You can have them for nowt if you want to come and collect them from Wigan....
