Parts needed to replace front springs/shocks
What parts are needed to replace the front springs?
Other than the springs and shocks?

Looking at the parts catalogue:

The four spring plate retaining bolts
The nuts for the shocks
The nuts/washers that hold the spring turrent in place
The spring turret retaining ring (with what looks like captive bolts?)


Is that the lot 1999 Defender TD5 110

As a precaution yes , but if old ones undo then you dont need anything

only thing i would fit at same time are spring isolators on a 90 like these

4 Springs
2 x Turret rings with 4x 8mm Nuts & Washers per ring (I believe they have a normal 8mm washer and a spring/lock washer)
2 x front shocks with Nuts & Bushes
2 x Rear Shocks with top bushes & Nuts and Bottom Bushes & Nuts
2 X Front spring retaining clamps with bolts, Nuts & washers
2 x rear spring retaining clamps with bolts & Nuts

you will probably be able to reuse the spring seats, but they do corrode.

The turret rings do have captive bolts, (If you're fitting dislocation cones you will need a set of rings with longer bolts..

Think that's everything.. My 1986 90 is currently on a full rebuild, with new chassis, Paint etc.. Very much a hybrid, TD5 Chassis, tub & bulkhead with a 200TDI and LT77 GB Painted in Stornoway Grey Smile 2 years off the road, but getting close to completion now

Cheers chaps.

Rears are all done, so now just the front and normal service will be resumed!
I have all the bushes for the front shocks as well as the nuts.(at least I think I ordered them but will check)

For me standard shocks etc all round and no dislocation cones needed.

Thanks Munch90 - are these needed on a 110 and what do the do ?

I think the turret rings might be a good idea as the old ones I suspect are the original ones. 1999 Defender TD5 110
