Hey guys,

I recently found one of my rear shocks is leaking like mad and have bought a pair of teins to replace them and am wanting to do this myself. Just wondering if anyone can tell me how to get to teh tops of the struts to undo the nuts? It seems i have to remove the parcel shelf to get at it? Easy or not so easy feat?

Any help will be appreciated :P

Cheers

hey mate, yeah just pull your back seat out, unplug speakers and rip out parcel shelf. you will see rubber covers on top of standard tops, pull em off and you will see everything you need to get em out (2 nuts).

dont do it on a hot day in the sun like i did though, turn yourself into a sweat machine!

hope that helps dude.

thanks for the replys lads.

yeah thats wat i was thinking that i'll have to remove the parcel shelf, i took the wheels off and the bottom nut seems fairly easy.

so i guess i'll have a crack at the parcel shelf, the bad thing is the weather here has been real muggy lately, but nonetheless i havent driven the girl in over a week so muggyness or not, that suspension is going in!

Thanks again for the confirmation i needed.

:P

    • That's a short. Find the short. It will be somewhere between that fuse and the headlight. Start by removing the plugs from the back of the headlight and dimmer switches, and measure resistance to earth. Supply side (power from the fuse) should have none. The other side should have resistance compatible with whatever globe(s) is there (which is relatively easy to say for a normal globe, perhaps not as easy to say for LEDs). Anyway, if you have very low resistance, you defo have a short. Then you just have to run the wiring like you're running the bowel of a dog (on the operating table) that has swallowed something it wasn't supposed to.
    • Hey guys, need help figuring out why my driver side (RH) fuse 15amp keeps blowing. The Driver Sides Headlamp is out, i replaced these a long time ago with LED ones that were working for 1-2 years. Now, the driver side light is out and i traced it back to a broken fuse. I replaced the 15 amp fuse in the engine bay and as soon as i flip the headlight on, it blows the new fuse. Any idea what's going on?
    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility
