Will touching the chassis damage the top of the damper at all? Do I not need some kind of a washer in there too? Cheers.

Fitted my ASTs this weekend at last. But a couple of questions. The main one being about the rear top mount rubber. Do I need the little gold washer still? If I leave this fitted then there's a gap between the chassis and the top of the damper shown below. If I remove it, the damper touches...

Nice pics. Can't wait to see some footage :) That Veyron taking two spaces. Nice plate on it too.

Great thread. Lovely tidy up you've done so far!

I wish my silver thing looked like yours does!!!!

All done now cheers chaps. Cleaned up the shaft too or the bearing face, whatever the correct name for it is. New discs/bearings too so shouldn't be any failures any time soon I hope.

Looks great mate. You guys have done a good job with that.

lol and I thought I worry too much. It'll be fine stick it in.

You wouldn't advise it then I take it. I used it on my coilovers and some powder coated bits, didn't seem to leave a bad finish, maybe I just don't know any better though lol :o:o

What about the BH stuff mate. You ever tried using that on wheels? Or is that nothing compared to Dlux..

Nice one chap. Will order some now and use it on my wheels when they come back. I used GT for my windscreen, can't remember what type it was, but it worked great and then seemed to not work at all soon after.

Much more enjoyable when it's cheap and you don't have to worry about it in my opinion. No offence to you of course, but you could spend 2-3 k on your engine and still not win any races. Big money combined with great drivers up at the front of the grid!

Anyone else used Dlux enough to give a good view? Wanting some views on what one to order :)

Yeah we were then too I think. Closure because of fog!

This is what I'm working with...

I thought that maybe because the rear disc/bearing doesn't actually touch this stub axle that it wouldn't get too hot? What do you mean by the bearing face? I don't quite follow sorry :o Should have called it silver gold then lol

Had a little read up. I think I was there the same time that M3 video was filmed. The guy with the white one was staying at the same place as us. Looked awesome.

Love the brake refurb update!

Wow, just stunning!!! I would LOVE for you to have been a previous owner to my car!!

Hehe :) I wouldn't use Hammerite on my calipers just in case. But wasn't sure how hot, if at all, the rear hub and drive shafts would get.

Cool mate cheers. You don't take the minter on track though do you??

No sure if it's actually called a hub on the rear or a stub axle? Correct my terminology if you know. But, how hot do these two parts get ? ? Looking very worn on my car and wanted to give them a quick lick of black paint before I finish off putting the car back together. What I wanted to...

What a shitter, keep us updated. Gutted for you!

Yeah that's what I did. Still need to do the hub pinch bolt and the ball joint bolts. Think i'll go with your sheet and do them at 75nm for now. 42 seems too low to me.

Packed up for the eve now though as he light is disappearing fast. Thanks for your help buddy.

40 odd seems too low for these don't you think!?? Is there a torque for the wishbone support bracket screw? The one which goes into the arch face.

That's the ones mate yeah.

So 90nm and 55nm thanks a lot mate. You've not got the ball joint nuts to hand there have ya lol! What ive written down from that link is 40nm. That can't be right for them surely!?

Not entirely sure to be honest. The ball joint pushes into the bottom of the hub. And this bolt holds it in place I guess.

Cheers mate. Its the bolt which which holds the ball joint tight in place
