Exploded suspension

[Guest Close Guest]

Another disaster has unravelled for my little Toyota... I recently replaced old, old, Old Man Emu shocks with beautiful Koni RAIDs up the front of the car, but it was obvious at the time that the mounting hardware wasn't quite right. Surely ARB wouldn't have thrown away the original Toyota gear and substituted it with OME parts? Seems that they have. Anyways, the shroud has now come loose rattle rattle rattle (and threatening to scrape my beatiful Koni shaft) and after a couple of hours trying to make it go back and stay back I decided the whole plot would be more stable without, so I reassembled it shroudless..

Does anyone have an exploded diagram of the front suspension components? I need to know what is supposed to sit above the spring (and the order) so that I can ascertain what's missing or has been replaced with OME crap I mean parts. A diagram or picture would be great. I have a Max Ellery workshop manual but it's no use to see exactly what's going on.

I am never EVER buying a second hand car again EVERRRRRrrrarrrghhh.
Sorry, just watched Jekyll on ABC. Good show.

Bugger, bad luck there. You wonder why some mechanics don't do it the right way first time.

On another note.

Your avatar is extremelly huge and bandwidth hungry.. 7.6 megabyte!!!!

This is naturally going to cause a huge drain and load on:
A: the server
B: Bandwidth on the server
C: Dial up users
D: Low spped broadband users

There seems to be about 4 others with fairly large Avatars too. Sadly The mod team has been discussing this for a while and It looks like it may be time for some changes to be fair to anyone with the above points.

Hi Gordo,
Have sent you an email with front suspension info.

By the way, thanks to clifton, that's exactly what I needed.
