Replacing a set of coilovers
« on: 13 September 2015, 22:10 »
Just wondering how easy it is to swap over a set of joms?

My front joms are busted so was going to purchase another set and just swap the fronts. But want to know if I need special tools and if I could do it myself and save some monies 👍🏻

they will be easy to do mate, best thing to do is jack them up then just wind the coilies up to aid taking them out of the hub

Cheap and cheerful Joms lol. They've been fine lasted over 3 years so can't complain for money. Just need something cheap to wack on there. Might be selling in few months.
