940 suspension is a bitch to pull apart. New Struts, new shocks, new motor mounts. 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Mullah Fuqua on  Sat Jul 13 11:08 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Never thought I'd have a kind word to say about my old 960. But at least the suspension was not unlike a FWD car to work on.

Who dreamed up this 940 shit?!?! You have to pull the whole front end apart... brakes, brackets, THE HUB(!), tie rods, ball joints, then you take the whole damned spindle and everything out with the strut housing. Whatever!

Anyway..... thanks go out ONCE AGAIN to the boys and girls up at Import Parts Specialist in Boise. "www.importpartsspec.com"

They got me hooked up with new Boge Turbo Grade Strut inserts, Boge Turbo Gas Shocks, New mounting plates and bearings, new boots and bumpers and a set of High quality German made liquid filled engine mounts to replace the limp dick OEM ones that had collapsed.

All THAT! For like $400 and something bux, delivered in 2 days.

So now I am sore and hot and tired. What did you all get done today?
