More fixing required on the van, another knocking on the front end, diagnosed top mounts.
So struts off
New top mounts on the right old on the left
Removed more than required from the engine bay to assess the issue/repair
Good excuse to buy more tools though, so got an impact wrench, extensive impact socket set and some big spring compressors.
It did require some new drop links as one side refused to come off. I went with Febi Bilstein all round to try and do the best quality job I could. Now means the only front suspension part I've not replaced is the dampers, so I plan to do these next year.
It will probably hit 100k next year so I'm planning for quite an extensive preventative maintenance schedule, mainly, dampers all round (probably Bilstein B4's), auxiliary belt, fluids, filters etc. and some modifications such as a new drivers seat, refurbished steering wheel, additional lighting (driving lights, lights above the doors, in the back etc.) and maybe a simple leisure battery set up to power the non driving lights/charge phone etc. I'm researching how to do this/where to put things currently.
Big question on how to run wires through the roof if anyone can help? Pictures/product names would be great.
But most importantly it works and I can enjoy it.
