Suspension Change R32 Skyline Gts-t

[RandomHero83]

Hi Guys,

I just brought some new Gabriel ultra shockies and I am looking to fit them this weekend. any hint's / tips for doing this. I'd say I'm pretty savvy with most things related to my cars, But I have never changed the suspension in one of my vehicles before, I have watched a few how to's and such but from a skyline PoV are there any things i need to be aware of?.

Cheers in advance.

yeah its not too hard, make sure you use jack stands as the bottom bolts are usually really tight, and need alot of force to undo but apart from that is not really hard to see where everything needs to be undone once your under there and have a look.

when taking out the struts lift them out and over the hub, dont try to pull them out from the bottom. you may need to use a breaker bar to push the strut of the bottom bolt as it can be a bit tight even when you take off the nut.

when putting suspension back in, lightly do up top bolts first then do the bottom one.

also its alot easier if you get someone to help you put the struts back on as they'll need to push the hubs down so you can line up the bottom bolt, just get them to push hub down with their feet.
