Suspension replacement what components do i need?

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

I am planning to replace my Bilstein b12 pro kit with a new set of B12. done 150000KM with it. 

 

what other components do i need to get for replacing suspension? 

strut mounts, strut bearings, control arm bushings ?

I'd do lower ball joint so you know it's all done too. I'd stick to OEM topmounts and bearings, I went Febi-Bilstein and have constant clicking lock to lock, as had another member on the forum.

thanks Dooge.

 

Should i include to change the lower control arm and coupling rod/linkage as well? 

plenty of clunking and thumping sound now when go over uneven grounds and bumps.

The issue is that when new parts are installed, pressure on old ones increases. Some will be fine and some will then wear our or present with faults. The bushes for the arms will be worn but you might find inner and outer tie rods to be ok. I had to replace my outer tie rods due to having to cut the old ones off when changing suspension components but the inners have been fine and havent needed touching.
