Coupe GT front suspension
Afternoon all
I'm currently going through the front suspension on my pre-facelift Coupe GT (KE engine). I'm not an expert mechanic, so bear with me....
So far I've removed, stripped, painted and re-bushed the anti-roll bar, drop links, control arms and subframe. I've got new bolts for the subframe and control arms (part no. N90556902), however they are fully threaded, whereas the bolts that were on the car were all part-threaded (I think it's likely at least the subframe ones are original as the bushes were). Does anyone know if fully threaded are ok please? I thought probably yes for the subframe but not sure about for the control arms... Also, the new nuts for the control arms, ball joint bolt etc are the serrated collar type rather than nyloc, they are one of the part numbers given on the Audi catalogue for those... Anyone know if those are ok or can I re-use the nyloc ones?
Normally I wouldn't worry too much, but keen to avoid anything undoing itself or breaking for obvious reasons...
Anything else I should look at doing while I have the subframe off? Gearbox mount?
Many thanks.
