Hi all
Been under the pack of the LC 100 today and noticed the suspension/shock absorber unit leaking, also checked fluid level and needed top up.
Can anyone refer me to link or give advice on replacing N/S rear unit.

Thanks for replies all. I've decided to go down the route of Pedders conversion. Probably going to keep this car next ten years or so. Keeping AHC in order would, I think, be an expensive PITA.
I've had a look underneath at the torsion bar mounting points, they are of course the usual rusty mess.
I'm too old now for rolling about underneath belting things with hammers, so I'm going to introduce the torsion bar to Mr. Angle Grinder
Plan is to cut them just after the mounting bracket and just before the adjuster arm then press out the splined ends.
Is the plan sound or have I missed something ?
Appreciate any input.

Hi Saudi1234, not got issue yet but rear shock sleeve very corroded but system still working so want to keep it if I can, did you weld a plate back or make plate to screw back over hole ? where did you get the shock from ? |
