1. Put the car into gear or park and apply the hand brake, loosen the front wheel nuts on one side, raise the
vehicle on a trolley or bottle jack under the axle and then support the vehicle with an axle stand under the
chassis. It’s easier and safer to do this job one side at a time.

absorber out through the hole in the inner wing.

washers.

forward the right hand is stamped with an “R” and the left hand an “L”. The new turrets have a flat side on the
base plate which fits up against the inside panel when fitted. Refit the washers and bushes in the correct
order, then tighten the top nut.
8. Drop the new turret and shock absorber back through the hole in the inner wing, fit the washers and nuts and
tighten down the turret onto the chassis bracket.

seat. Then fit the lower bottom washers and bush and the securing nut, Tighten the bottom securing nut.
