Hi Guys.

Does anyone know what the hight of the MGF suspension should be??
Mine is 28in from the floor to the lip on the centre of the wheel arch, is this correct??
Should it be higher than this??

Gonna replace both just in case, thanks very much for all the info.
p.s. your English is very good.

Hi Guys. Am in the process of reassembling my front suspension after fitting new bottom wishbones. Am trying to figure out how the shock absorber bolts on at the bottom.

Hi Ah Right i see, i wasn't aware of that one, that makes much more sense to me now. I thought it was that small one further back. Thank you for all your assistance, and by the way i love Germany, been there many times, Beautiful Country and friendly people. What more could you ask for?? Take care. ...

Hi Guys. Quick update on the front sub frame situation. Managed to get enough clearance to get the rear wishbone bolts out, but how the hell do you get the front ones out?? They are set back inside the subframe with only a hole for access, even then they are set well back from the hole. What tool/me...

I am not sure? have removed the two lock nuts and the u clamp.
What else is there to do? is it just a case of giving it a bit of a wiggle and shake till it comes apart?

No don't think so, the caliper is off the carrier on that side and attached to nothing.

But it will not drop very far on the Off side. Have removed all sets of bolts at front and back, remo...

Hi Guys.

Anyone know how to get the top ball joint out of the hub?
I believe its screwed in on a thread, right handed? left handed? ant tools required for it?

Hi.
To be honest it sounds like an awful lot of trouble to go to just to replace a wishbone.
It only requires replacement due to a bit of corrosion on the top skin.
Could i get away with welding it??

Its the lower one on the front, did'nt know there was an upper one?
Just looks like a shocker going down to a wishbone which holds the bottom ball joint.

Hi Guys.
Anyone know the best way to remove the front wishbone on the M.G.F. ?
It looks as though the control arm is fixed to the chassis rail through the centre.
Thanks.

ok thanks for the advice. the manual gives some basic info but not on "in driving" situations, as long as i can:t break anything i am sure it will be ok.

Regards.
