    Default Coilovers repair ?

    Have any of you ever stripped down a coilover to try repair it , my seals have gone again on my avo rear coilovers , they haven't even done 7k since they were last done ;(

    So I'm thinking of stripping if down and replacing the o rings myself , is it possible ?

    Lol thy cost me £252 to have all 4 rebuilt las time , just thinking of someone in work to look at them since we are a hydrolic valve company

    I'll give avo a bell though but it's been about 3-4 years since they were done but as said they have only done about 7k in that time

    have a go yourself, and if they still are fooked then rebuild them and send them back

    failing that, you can get new rears from gaz for not a huge quantity of cash from the members deal
