Anybody lowered their 9N themselves?

Post by macemc86 »

If so, do you have any tips/advice....if its not amazingly difficult i will give it a go next week.

My Mrs' dad has agreed to help, hes a mechanical kinda guy, so i will prolly sit back and let him get on with it..

any help will be greatly appreciated.

I watched my m8 do it he`s a mechanic, the rear was a piece of pis# but the front looked kinda tricky if u ask me m8, need to watch the abs sensors and not to pop the driveshaft when getting the shocker out of it`s holder at the bottom, i think i`d let your father n law get his hands dirty and then you can buy him the beers lol

its all fairly straight forward but you need to take the drivers side shaft off from the gearbox because you cannot get the hub low enough to get the shocker out with it on as it hits the subframe,

apart from that its easy basic stuff

also give the part where the shocker goes into the hub a real good soak in wd40
