SUSPENSION PROBLEMS ALICES DREAM!!! HELP!!!!HELP!!!!

[Karl Ellis]

Hi everyone,

Wonder if any one can help with the following, perhaps you could ring us
and we could you call you back 07970 216426.or answer via the forum.

1. We have 4 red AVO adjustable shocks. The rear 2 seem OK but the front 2 have bottomed and we cannot move them. Can these be re-furbed or do AVo do exchange repair, or i they scrap.

2. Worse than this the tie bars that go to the center cylindrical tubes mounted horizontally, just flap about and go in and out. I had a look at a
workshop manual and i am sure that this is the suspension unit/springs.
I am guessing that the cars been running round just on the shocks and bumps stops. thats why the front shocks are shot.

3. I fear that these suspension units are either meggar bucks or not available? What do we do.

4. Also these suspension units are held on by 2 bolts under the plastic bungs in the floor pan. The brackets that hold these tubes up have been welded to the chassis. Is this standard or as this been done for strength as a racing mod.

5. Do we need the special tool for taking the steering rods off the steering rack ball joints? need to swap one steering rod because it is bent.
Does anyone have a knack for getting these off. I have a photo of the factory splitter. Can soon get one made but just wondered if we could save a little time.

We are working on the car today. If anyone can help with advice over the phone this would appreciated. We will call you back to save your bill.

Once again sorry if we seen a bit thick or slow on these 2Cvs but only understand Escorts.

regards

Karl Ellis :(  :(  :(  :(  :(
