T32 front suspension removal

[drooke]

No bank holiday trip for me until I replace one of my front springs that has snapped!

Can't find a T32 specific video on YouTube. Do I need to undo all four bolts, two front and two rear, to remove the suspension leg from the hub?

Can I get away with not removing the brakes and driveshaft?

I'd heard that it's easier to remove the suspension leg from T32s.

Progress so far...




Thanks for any tips,

Dan

Remove top nut, drop link and the two hub bolts. Then man handle the assemble out. Way easier than T30. I can do a set of coilovers on a T32 in 2 hrs on my drive.

Managed to get it sorted this morning cheers. Had to take the caliper off to get enough access to the second hub bolt at the front to loosen it, then it all came apart nicely. Time to get away for the weekend as well

Hi, I;m replacing mine tomorrow, did you have to replace the nut on the top mount or did you reuse it? Thanks.

You should be able to reuse your top mount nut.
