front suspension

[demonskull13]

hi is the front suspension the same on both sides as ive got a faulty passenger side suspension and looked up a drivers side suspension and the passenger side looks like a mirror image of driver side as you ve got the 2 bolt holes on both so they would just swap over. The main thing is where the suspension coil ends it may be on the wrong side is this a issue or would it be o.k because of the rubber that fits between the suspension and the suspension mount. i will look on friday in the light but may need to drop the suspension out to check thankyou

Hi Jason. The suspension is as you say same on both sides. Not sure what you mean by 'faulty' but I would suggest changing both sides at the same time. Remember, the front suspension carries the weight of the engine AND has to cope with your driving style too

Hope this helps,
Rob.
