Default Front Control Arm Refresh

Does anyone have a step by step guide on rebuilding the front suspension?

Im used to working on cars with a Haynes manual so I atleast have sequence and torque values!

Planning on removing the front struts and replacing the dampers, upper struts and bump stops.

Then from autodoc I am going to order the full Meyle kit incl trackrod ends and ARB link (https://www.autodoc.co.uk/meyle/2118381)

will also replace the ARB bushing, the ARB itself looks like its from the titanic but ill wire brush up and hammerite it!

any feedback experience is very much appreciated, been on forum for a year or so but just took the dive into a D2.

Money is tight so id like to avoid using a garage for the labour, so DIY.

Next on the list is the timing belt, but thats a garage job!

Then fix the heatshield rattle...

I feel ive bought a basket case!
