Image 1 - Before Start
Image 2 - A lot of work in the horizon. :)
Image 3 - Rear Springs and Shockers Fitted
Image 4 - Rear was cantered and new Panhard adjusted - Panhard from KAP, they don't came with the bushes, you need to by them or reuse you old ones if you can remove them intact.
Image 5 - I don't now about other, but we add to grind the bushes a bit or they would not fit.
Image 6 - Rear was completed already looking better :)
Image 7 - I was told to remove the spring that adjust the brake balance on the rear axle. Wondering what others did for a second opinion.
Image 8 - Now, to the front. By the way all springs were fitted manually now need for special tools.
Image 9 - Remove and replacing the brake lines. Suspension was already in.
Image 10 - Brake lines again.
Image 11 - Castor correction bushes installed. looks a bit weird but is just the angle of the image... they were in the correct position. we needed more then 5 tones from the hydraulic press to remove the old ones

Image 14 - Compare Rear Springs Size
