Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I also used the opportunity to remove the wheel arch liner, cleaned the whole area and Dynaxed it all.

The drop links are easier to remove off the shock with the shock off the car - I installed new links on to the new shock, so i only had to undo them at the ARB.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Now I've fit new shocks and top mounts on the front its highlighted the fact me rears are probably jiggered. I'm going to fit new rears over the coming weeks but wondered if there is anything else whilst doing it. My plan was new top mounts, bump stops, drop links (aren't they a bitch to remove in situ?). Is this right and is there anything I've missed? No plan to change springs or any suspension arms.

POST 2Original post

I think you have it all covered. The drop links are easier to remove off the shock with the shock off the car - I installed new links on to the new shock, so i only had to undo them at the ARB. I just gave my new shocks a coat of the clear Dynax, especially at the bottom where the drop link attaches and the water and crap collects. I also used the opportunity to remove the wheel arch liner, cleaned the whole area and Dynaxed it all. Enjoy.

POST 3Original post

Rear top mounts will probably be fine, they don't suffer like the fronts (they don't take side loads due to rear dogbone links). Rears much easier than fronts to do.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
