changing vp struts

[juice1929]

hey guys searched for a while but couldn't find anything on but i need to change my front struts on my series 2 vp wagon and was just wondering whether it is a reasonably easy job and any common problems that may occur whilst doing this, also is there anything else i should change while replacing the struts.
i was thinking of putting in an adjustable strut top and new sway bar links but not sure on what else to do.

cheers

You mean the shocks right? Not replacing the whole strut? Well either was when you take the strut out dont bother with the ball joint take the whole control arm out with it, its a presses job for the ball joint. I recently done it to the V8 http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/...-bt1-v8-3.html

If it was me replacing the shocks i would also get some new springs if its stock height and strut tops if the old ones are shagged. I also found my shock boots and bump stops where gone aswell.
