WarPig Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Will these turrets and securing rings fit as a direct replacement for my standard turrets and rings on my 110 300tdi... http://www.paddockspares.com/pp/OFF_ROAD/HD_Suspension_Parts/Heavy_Duty_Shock_Absorber_Turrets_%28pair%29_Galvanised.html http://www.paddockspares.com/pp/OFF_ROAD/HD_Suspension_Parts/Heavy_Duty_Shock_Absorber_Turret_Securing_Ring_%28each%29.html Im having my chassis swapped for a galv chassis and im going to be replacing my suspension springs and dampers at the same time. Im sticking with standard genuine suspension but thought I may as well fit galv turrets. Are they a straight replacement? And are there any other suspension components I should replace?

landy V8 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 they're a straight forward swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'd be inclined to fit Gwyn Lewis turrets, he does them in std height, and they are imo a better design. You'll be able to clean round the top of the shock. He also does galvanised rings iirc. Perhaps also, seeing as the turret bolts aren't loaded in sheer, you could use stainless bolts?

WarPig Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 Thanks for the replies Anderzander, Ill give Gwyn lewis a ring tomorrow. Are there any other suspension parts I should be changing, obviously bushes is one. But will I need the spring retainers? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarPig Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 Just placed my order with Gwyn Lewis. Good service over the phone. Thanks for the recommendation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Excellent. I've always found him great to deal with and his stuff is top notch :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
