Hi all, it is replacement time for the shock absorbers, I believe the backs are fairly easy to do, are the front shocks an easy job to do. Does anyone local to me fancy earning some cash doing them for me? I used to do all my own repairs but I am at the age now where I can still lie on the floor, just have a problem gettting back up again.

Rears easy if bolts dont seize.

Fronts fairly easy, but will need spring compressor, and camber reset afterwards...

Cheers TB, I don't have spring compressors, but will have to get someone in to do it anyway, last time I enquired about a full geometry check the only local one to me capable of doing it, besides the main stealer, wanted £460. I just loosened the bolts on the bottom of the leg that the tyre wear was on and pulled it out, it has been fine ever since, I was very lucky to get away with doing it that way.

Cheers Elite Pete, will do, although I will probably have to put it in somewhere to be done.
