Got some noise coming from my passenger hub. So I ordered Timkens for both sides, grabbed the spline nuts, and picked up a 36mm socket. Shouldn't take more than an hour.
How'd you like the rears? We dropped the entire subframe like 6 inches and did both sides at once, because the directions to each side by just loosening was not working out.Installed a set of Sportlines on the S550 yesterday evening. First time I've done springs myself. With the exception of the 2 bolts (on each side) that hold the spindle to the strut, it was a relatively easy process.
Might not seem like much to some, but this was the first major wrenching session I've done myself. Only had jackstands and hand tools, but the immense feeling of self-satisfaction is worth it.
I did have to go track down a buddy with an impact and deep socket for the bolt on the tops of the struts. But hey, I'm sore and I'm proud. lol.
Good job. Pics?Installed a set of Sportlines on the S550 yesterday evening. First time I've done springs myself. With the exception of the 2 bolts (on each side) that hold the spindle to the strut, it was a relatively easy process.
