Lightweight rear suspension
Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2017 12:48 pm
Hi all,
Amongst other issues I removed the rear suspension units from my M14 at the weekend in hope it would be a simple job of replacing the covers and bushes. That it wasn't, the shocks are fooked and provide no damping and looking around the forum there isn't much hope. Seeing as they're already knackered I'm going to try refill with fresh oil, I was thinking of drilling a small hole and welding a nut with an internal taper on it (female) and then have a bleed valve, reverse fill it and sorted. Apart from it might look ugly, what other options have people tried?
