That little car will handle and drive like it's brand new by the time you're done. Nice work!
Thanks for continuing to follow along with our crazy projects. We're excited to see where we end up with this Metro. Cheers!
Gee! Oh! Always a good type of video to learn about suspension for most any car. Thanks!
@@burkestaes8771 lol. Thanks for watching. Dana loves working on this little car.
Dana knocking it out of the park! I need to rebuild the front suspension on the Mercedes, y'all should come help me.🤣 Seriously though, great job and vid!
LOL. If you were only closer, that would be a cool collab. Thanks for watching and sharing the kind words brother. We appreciate it!
Spirit'ed Wrenchers, wanna collab keep it up
Thanks IOSARBX for watching and sharing. We appreciate it!
Link for quick strut? Still much easier and well worth it. Looking for years and years
Hi TooForOne, thanks for watching! I ordered one via eBay and the other directly from the seller's website. Note that the brake line bracket is not universal (as we found out) and be prepared to need to rent the strut assembly tool regardless if you find the cap to be out of alignment like we did for one of the assemblies. Those disclaimers out, here's the seller's direct website with the part linked: www.jjoriginalequipment.com/GM-Front-Lit-Driver-Side-Suspension-Strut-Shock-Spring-Assembly-1998-01-91172300_p_1875.html
If I had to do it all over again, I would have just bought the KYB set and assembled them myself to ensure the brake brackets are correct and because I needed to rent the tool anyway. Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!
