Suspension refresh

Post by Kinger » Sat Dec 12, 2020 11:18 pm

Hi,

Currently thinking about doing a suspension overhaul on the S1 over winter, before I buy new Ball joint Inst/removal tool and Wishbone bush Inst/removal tools does anyone have a set that i could borrow for this project. They aren't expesive but looks like they'd only be used once so thought it worth posting here first.

Cheers

I would give Mike Stout a shout to see if he has got one, that he could possibly loan you.

Obviously you will want a full set of new RS29 pads to finish the job off Kinger.....

(that's why I think Mike will do fine, that and his lack of imagination). :roll: :lol:

I have a full set for the wishbones Kinger. Need to drop off Neils splitter so could do both at the same time.
