Hi guys
Going to start gathering bits next week the rebuild the front end,so my little list started as
Wishbones
p bushes
top mount bearing
droplinks
engine/gearbox mounts

I just want to do the essentail bits as want to go on track wth a good base,and then start upgrading bits.
I now i've missed bits out so hopefully people can tell me want other bits i need.

Balljoints Smile


Allthough it depends how far you want to go I suppose

Ive bought
Shocks
Springs
bumpstops
dust protectors for shocks
topmounts and bearings
top spring cups
wishbones
p bushes
ball joints
Track rod ends
droplinks


And as an additional a lower strut brace

You could go futher and get inner tre's and arb bushes
Although i think thats starting to go a little far.
The arb bushes are poly as standard.

Unless your track rod ends have play, no need for them, or engine/gearbox mounts.

Ate your shocks and springs in decent condition?
