how do i change stuts/springs on my vs ?

[azzabakes]

been hearing a clunking noise coming from the left handside spring/stut, am going to replace, does anyone know what to buy ect for lowering the car and replaceing whole stut? AND how to do it? i heard the back is easy but does anyone have step by step, wat tools ect,cheers azz

[azzabakes]

should i go to supercheap or look around brisbane northside

[Brett_jjj]

Buy yourself a Gregorys workshop manual.It shows pictures how to do all this kind of stuff and has step by step instructions,you cant go wrong.Well worth it.I recommend anyone doing any kind of work like this on their car to get a manual and have a good read first before starting.It will pay for itself the first time you use it.The manuals are about $50 at auto places.There are other brand manuals available but the gregorys seems to be the best one.(unless you can get hold of a factory one)

If its just a clunking noise when turning its probably ya strut top bearing, only a $30 part

[axemurderer101]

could be a shagged swaybar link making the noise

[undar8ed1]

here the how to link VS strut removal just undo the top 24mm nut instead of the 5 13mm plate nuts because its a bit easier. good luck

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

And loosen the top nut while the car is still on the ground, much easier.

I can get you a price for King spings and Ultima shocks all round if you like. How low do you want to go?

[deanos70]

can you get strut inserts or does the whole thing have to be bought

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

They are a sealed unit, but there are companies that do an insert for them, but some cutting welding is required.

[deanos70]

dont like the idea of that
just thing i would stick to the whole unit

thanks for the info though

Try the for sale section and yes i believe 18's are probably the best all round tyre although i like my 17's cause there still fat and quite a bit cheaper
