Update on shocks/struts/sport spring install!! 200

posted by  someone claiming to be wagonproject on  Sun Mar 14 19:01 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Thanks to Don, JP and the rest of the gang here at the brickboard, I've replaced the shocks, struts and springs in my '85 wagon in just 10 hours! I'd never pay $400 to have a shop do it - I could do it again in under 4 hours with the correct tools.

Tools used:

crescent wrenches: 10mm, 13mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm
sockets: " + 24mm deep
torque breaker bar
impact wrench
jacks + jack stands
chocks
propane torch
hammer
coil compressors clamps

and some wire to suspend the strut towers.

She rides about 1.6" lower and with the 25mm (front and rear) sway bars (IPD) she's a true brick in the twistys!

Thanks so much guys!!

M.C.
