- Hey there people
Finally i got around to replacing the front shock that was giving me headache.One of the Bilstein shocks had a knocking sound..and i have now replaced both front shocks with two new Koni shocks.
Also..i put on a set of Ahmed Bayjoo 3dr spec springs...which will hopefully help the ride quality.And after testdriving the car..i can definetly say it was a great success :)
I hope you like the video people :)
Greetings,Stefan
The new stance of the Cosworth looks just about perfect. I’m happy lol 👍
thank you sooo much mate.I apreaciate that.I am not to sure yet..it is so different to what im used to.But i guess i will get used to it.The most important thing was that the car was sooo nicer to drive...So...i can hopefully tweak the rear springs just a tad...to lower it by a hairsthread in the future.But for now it definetly works :)
Love the new look, Cossies always look better with a slight tail up stance. Is your front cross member standard ?
What size are the wheels & tires? She sits very nice💙👍
I just did springs and b8s on my wires clk550:)
Love the cossie man!.
ooohhh...Bilsteins
KONI))) They so good)
Cracking artical in fast ford October 2020 issue....😎👍
Thank you soooooo much :) I havent actually seen the article myself yet..or...i have not got a copy of the magazine yet...so..im looking forward getting my hands on it.Im pretty stoked about beeing in this magazine..as i have been reading these mags from back when i got my first Cosworth...so its pretty awesome to have my car featured :)
Akkurat detta jeg holder på med på escorten.. fronten gikk bra, å jeg har fått av coiloverene bak... men var litt usikker på hva som måtte av for å få inn fjærene uten å kutte de i to å sveise de sammen. Helt topp! 11/10 som vanlig!
ps: jeg gikk for bilstein og bayjoo... så får vi se hvordan det funker!
ooohh nice.Så da var det litt hjelp i videon altså.Konge :) ja dem er litt teite å få inn og ut di fjærene..men det går greit .Bare ta tia til hjelp..så går det. Har veldig lyst å handle nye Bilstein jeg også..men foreløpig så får det bare være sånn.Er super Bilstein fan jeg da..så det svei litt å hive på Koni..men er veldig spent på hvordan dem er etterhvert.Til nå så virker dem ganske fine.Har ikke justert noe på dempinga/rebounden på dem..så må lese litt om "hva som gjør hva"...vil ikke bare skru uten å vite hva jeg skrur på :) Takk for kommentar.Du må få laga noe videoer av Escorten din..og lage deg en kanal her du også.Jeg vil se :)
@@TheCarTakerGarage ha, nei det får holde at jeg furter på fordforumet! det hadde tatt lengre tid enn binky mellom mine videoer så treigt som det går med mine prosjekter..
@@TheCarTakerGarage Ja altså! da har jeg starta... men det baller jo litt på seg... plukker av ting å ser at "hmh, den der bør jeg jo bytte når jeg først er igang"
Jeg har enda ikke fått fjæra inn... boltene på akslingen sitter veldig fast... så jeg får få tak i litt bedre verktøy å prøve igjen i morra!
Wow Stefan it's shock absorber time for you too? :)))... To be seriously, Koni vs Bilstein it does not matters... Koni Sport and Billy B8's are almost the same quality dampfers, and it is man's personal choice which one to choose. I enjoyed video pretty much. Stefan, when i was doing the front dampfers job on my fathers MK4 GTI, we used shock absorber claw separator, and it was pretty easy to remove it from the knuckle. What about the Ford? I saw that you removed a lot of stuff to remove the shock and strut....
Stefan i want also to ask, will that puller you showed work with W210 ? I saw somewhere that guys used 22mm puller for that job. I want to invest in that tool in future and wanna be sure that it will fit W210 ball joints too...
Greetings my Friend :) Hope you are doing well. Best wishes!!!
heyyy there my friend :) Yes..it was shock time for me too :) I love the Bilsteins...but with one of them beeing broken..i needed a set of two new fronts..and the Konis were very nice price..and for the Ford Cosworths..they are very good.And i have now driven the car also ..and they are very nice.They are not to stiff.So that is very nice.And yes...you are right..there is a very nice claw tool for spreading the "knuckle clamps holding the shock"...but we dont have that at the workshop i work for.But that is a tool i would like to have....Hmm.....that balljoint separator tool i think will work on the w210 also yes :) definetly a very nice tool.I really dont like to hit suspension components with hammers...so it is very nice to have "pressing" tools like this :) Greetings,Stefan :)
@@TheCarTakerGarage
Great. Agree with you Stefan, Hammering the suspension components is awful idea. Today there are enough tools, to avoid this method. Thank you for the information. Hope you are doing well. Regards :)))
Front springs rate is the same as rear? 380 lb?
heyy there.I had a look at the video..as i actually forgot to save a photo of this.But no,if im not mistaken..it says 180 up front..and 380 in the rear..
@@TheCarTakerGarage ok,thank you. I ve just ordered a set from Burton for my 4x4 sapphire. I believe the car will be better..
@@skourias8125 No problem :) oh...im am not sure mate...but i have a feeling that you might have these springs beeing loose in your shock setup.I have read people having issues using the Bayjoo springs on 4x4 Cosworths.And the springs beeing loose when the car is lifted up in the air.....Which is the reason why i was hesitant putting on these springs...and i did alot of research before "pulling the trigger "....But did you get springs FOR the 4x4...or?
@@TheCarTakerGarage yes,I've heard about this.. I bought bayjoo springs for 4x4 cosworth from burton. Now,we will see..Normal poundage rate would be 380 front and 180 rear. I don't why yours are opposite.
@@TheCarTakerGarage std 3-dr Springs were 106 lb/in front - 263 lb/in rear, Sapphire 2wd were 118 lb/in front - 286 lb/in at rear.
4x4 std springs are 140lb front/120lb rear. So,you are correct about your bayjoo springs rate (180 front/380 rear)
Fking hell im first!
Blir bara bättre och bättre
Tuuuuuuuusen tack mister :) Jeg håper det...den ble iallefall mycket battre och kjøraaa :)
