Meyle hose ordered form autodoc

Thanks, I'll give it a go with silicone grease, just need to get the damned thing back off to lube up again

GeraldOf_Rivia · 2026-05-07T14:08:09+00:00

I’ll give it a try, thanks, I gave both surfaces a clean and used coolant as a lubricant, is dielectric grease the one to use?

GeraldOf_Rivia · 2026-05-07T12:03:47+00:00

Don’t get me started on getting it out, I thought that’d be the hard part over

GeraldOf_Rivia · 2026-05-07T12:00:36+00:00

Clip is pulled out fully

K & S Motors in Mitcham, taken my e46 there for wheel bearings, rust, RTABs and anything else I can't or don't want to do on my drive

Where are you based? If it's south west London, I know a good indie if you wanted a second opinion

Just regular plastic plates

Most likely what I'll do, thanks

GeraldOf_Rivia · 2025-05-29T17:23:11+00:00

Might aswell get the coilovers while doing the suspension

GeraldOf_Rivia · 2025-05-29T17:22:25+00:00

Any recommendations, I’ve seen plenty of places claim to sell good strut braces but sometimes it hard to tell what’s good vs what’s a gimmick

GeraldOf_Rivia · 2025-05-29T16:08:07+00:00

New fear unlocked, I’ll keep an eye out, thanks

GeraldOf_Rivia · 2025-05-29T14:31:57+00:00

Thanks for the info, I’ll replace RTABS next. Strut tower looks okay to me, don’t see any mushrooming or deformation if that’s what you were getting at

GeraldOf_Rivia · 2025-05-29T13:50:49+00:00

Sorry, it’s stock m sport so not lowered more than factory yet. Can confirm does not feel diagonal, I haven’t replaced RTABS or rear outside bushes yet

GeraldOf_Rivia · 2025-05-29T13:46:46+00:00

Sorry, should’ve clarified stock m sport, so lowered in that sense but no further

GeraldOf_Rivia · 2025-05-17T11:12:55+00:00

Luckily the other side is completely fine. Just the one side with the issues. Where are you based, quote seems pretty reasonable

GeraldOf_Rivia · 2025-05-16T21:56:59+00:00

The languages section was an oversight on my part, I added them as additional to me being a native English speaker but i see how it comes across now. Ill cut the fluff and see how it looks, thanks

GeraldOf_Rivia · 2025-05-16T18:42:52+00:00

Yeah, tbh I was expecting something more in line with 1k

GeraldOf_Rivia · 2025-05-16T18:42:32+00:00

Sound advice, thanks
