Hi Everyone,
I have not got round to putting the suspension components together yet, for many reasons, but I am hoping for some time in the next couple of weekends. Just wanted to ask another question after mulling it over last night and before I embark on the work......
So with a new shock absorber, TRE and upper and lower ball joints to go in and be secured, I was just wandering if there is a correct or best sequence to the refit? By this I mean do things have to go back and be tightened in a particular order?
I am looking to fit all of the items loosely, with the start point being to secure the shock absorber as it has the most fixing points. assuming I have done this, in respect of the TRE and ball joints would I tighten them in any particular sequence or does it not really matter?? I have the advice of tightening each of these to a safe point before lowering car and then torqueing everything up with the weight of the car down... Hence my wandering as to how important it might be to follow a sequence?
If I am over thinking this then could someone please let me know and I will go on my merry way and fit/tighten as I see fit..!
Thanks in advance...
