VY series 2 sedan 2004 after a front coilover kit

[Kurtly91]

Hi

I'm looking to change the home strut assembly on my commodore it's got 255km on it and it's running a bit stiff on the bumps

I see repco have the easy strut full assembly for $291 I would rather get it pre built so I don't have to build the strut are these any good or is there a cheaper full assembled strut?

If your happy to pay that much for standard, basic gear for pure convenience - sure!

Compressing the spring and fitting a new boot, bump stop and top bush isn't that hard really. Plenty of youtubes on it to follow.

I would appreciate if someone put a list of parts together so I can build two front struts I would like a new springs as well I just don't know what bits are compatible with each other

@TheIceman
I just thought they would need replacing?

So it sounds like i can use the old springs, can you please link the bushing kit I will need?

Then that will be all I need right?

Thanks!

what bushes? just search that website for them, don't get rubber ones. only get rubber for stabiliser bar links so they dont chop out. also probably good idea to get top strut mounts as well.

The monroe site has all the stuff listed you'll need if you're going monroe (the bearing mounts etc)

This vid will give you a good break down of how to do it (its very easy), just buy some spring compressors from supercheap or somewhere.
