Front Suspension Teardown - Catalogue of parts

Dismantling the suspension would have been impossible without the Interceptor parts catalogue. It is worth every penny that it cost to buy from the JOC website. The exploded diagrams are extremely useful, as are the tables of parts.

As each part (washer, nut, screw, plate etc) was removed from the car it was put in a plastic bag with a tag showing the workshop manual item number, description and code id. This will then be used to ensure re-assembly goes smoothly. Well that's the plan anyway!

The major parts (wishbones etc) will now go off for cleaning and powder coating and the calipers are heading off for a clean, repaint, rebuild and pressure test. The calipers will get new pistons and seals at the same time. The only choice is what colour caliper paint to go for, silver, gold, red or black. I'm thinking black at the moment but I've got a few days to decide.
