Shocks and Struts...Help Please. 200 1978

The shocks are a piece of cake, unless you run into problems caused by rusted nuts. One small hint though: I would recommend that you have two bolts and new, self-locking nuts available for the D-shaped discs that fix the lower end of the springs to the trailing arms. If the existing bolts don't come loose from the discs, fine, then you just need the new nuts (don't re-use the old ones). If the bolts do come loose (they are only press fit), they are almost impossible to get a grip on with their round heads, and you need the new hex-head bolts as replacements.

As for the struts, I picked up a few points on what problems you might face here: http://www.cabinnaise.com/vpage/242dl.htm
In any case, it is an entertaining read.

Good luck,
Erling.
