How difficult is it to change the front shocks anyone on a facelift MV6 saloon? one is leaking so I know I'll need to change both...

thats not as bad as I thought thank you. I had a rough price for the shocks off Loo Knee so its not all doom and gloom now...(apart from the fact that I dont have spring compressors)

Well buy the shocks with the springs and everything fitted (cant beleave his pinkness will take them apart!) and swap the complete strutt assembly over.....very easy job then.

But you will need the camber reseting afterwards!

No sorry I didn't meen to say I was buying them off Loo knee but he did tell me how much they where from the dealers using my club card..
I dont need springs just the shocks...
One more thing though can there be "any" sideways play in the steering idler?
