Fitting Front Shocks..

[AlpineWhite]

should only use torque wrench for wheels, everything else is FT or gunned up
but dont neccesserially need one!

All very well until you want to undo it without a buzz gun. Or until you stretch the threads due to overtorque. I'll keep with the wrench ta.

I'm sure someone did a step by step guide on how to do it on here.
Was really good, its what I used and can now do it easily

This is great! Thanks a lot everyone. Someone I know might have an impact gun and he's pretty good with mechanics and stuff so I'll ask him for a hand. Will hopefully order up the shocks next Friday and if I'm lucky, they'll come on Saturday because the ride is getting ridiculously bad!

I've come across some QH shocks on ebay: search "ibiza front shock absorber" and select sort by lowest price and it's the fourth one down (it won't let me post a link until I've had 15 posts)

These are £5 each plus £7 p&p... I emailed them about the price and they said they were clearing stock.. Would I be OK with these? Also, they asked if I would want hydraulic or gas ones... which would be best??

Thanks a lot..
