Default What a day

Today is Sunday, instead of taking a relaxing ride on my scoot I decided to work on my C.
New Eibach springs and new rear shocks Gabriel, replaced the new shetty spring seats with xc90 seats.

Now the car rides just a little lower, ride is alot better. The spring seats I had on there had maybe 3 months on them. 1 was twisted up and both were torn up around the metal bushing.

Rear shocks kinda annoyed me, rather the posts I read annoyed. I read where u have to remove the rear seat to get to the shock upper. I found it thru the trunk

Lesson well learned here for me. Stay away from aftermarket parts. AF spring seats, and end links were shot

I've noticed that nearly all of the aftermarket inner/outer tie rods and both lower ball joints are worn and loose after only 1 year!! What a waste of time and $$$.
