Hi All,

Due to the issues with my brakes and the fact that the car is now stuck in the garage for a week while I wait for parts to get here from Germany I thought I would get them to do some other stuff.
One of the things I thought they could overhaul is the suspension. Apart from springs and dampers what else should I get replaced? I am a bit confused about the whole bush thing.

Thanks!
Regards
Paul

Well, I suppose it depends on how much money you have.....you could start with new shock absorbers, resetting the ride height, and a geometry check/reset.

Hi, with you on all that. But also want to get any type of bushes etc changed.
Is it worth getting the anti roll bar bushes changed for example if they look ok, or is it a waste of money?
Just want to keep the garage busy on her until the brake spring parts needed arrive from Germany on Friday.

You could just ask them to replace any worn parts when they do the geometry check. If they are 928 specialists they will know what to look for.
