Chris Wilson Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Not if they are stock ones. yet to see an issue with a stock top mount. If you use aftermarket "coil overs" they may require their own special top mounts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need a 19mm socket with a breaker bar and a 14mm spanner and socket...if I remember correctly for the front drop links along with a heat gun, I used one I picked up from maplins a while back, Make sure your tooled up and have a full day if its your first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
