Hi Guys,
I had Alana’s Cougar Eibach checked during the week and I have to order some bits. Can you help me with the actual part aftermarket part numbers etc or best replacement bits? I am not being lazy as I have gone through all the parts but am a little confused as to which ones actually fit the Eibach's.
This is the report:
Lower Control Arm and Inner Bushes. Right and left excessive play.
I have ordered the following:
DORMAN Part # 520204 {#976G3042BA, F5RZ3078B**
Includes Ball Joint and Bushings; Front Right Lower; 4 Bolt Hole Attachment
DORMAN Part # 520203 {#97BG3051BA, F5RZ3079B**
Includes Ball Joint and Bushings; Front Left Lower; 4 Bolt Hole Attachment
Cost me US$47.18 each (AUD$247 for the pair delivered to Western Australia) but they went up to $60 a unit overnight for new orders.
Front Suspension:
Strut Mounting Plate: Sagged or collapsed: Need to replace.
Steering Gear: Rack ends slightly worn: Replace.
Sway Bar Links: Slight movement in Ball joints: Need replacing.
Rear Suspension:
Shocks: Recheck in 6 months.
Strut Mounting Plates: Not Visible ?
Trailing Arms Lower: Excessive movement in Front and Rear Split Bushes: need replacing.
Sway Bar Links: Bushes Cracking: Need replacing.
AND ON MINE:
Front Suspension:
CV Joints: LH Boot torn: Needs Replacement.
Rear Suspension:
Sway Bar Bushes: D Bushes Worn: Requires Replacement.
Not too bad a list given that Alana's Cougar Eibach has done 150,000ks and mine 115,000ks.
Yogi. Thanks again for the info on the Air Con Compressor for my car. That has been paid for and should be on it's way next week.
Now we just have to work out the problem with Alana's
ABS light coming on and we will be honkey dorey as they say!
Cheers
