Good morning
Thank you for this very detailed little tutorial.
Kind regards
Hello, I removed the ball joint, but I did not find any protection, is this normal. CITROEN C2. Kind regards
This is a heat shield between the disc and the ball joint boot, not having it is not serious in itself, especially if your discs are ventilated.
Hello, GREAT TUTORIAL THANK YOU. I would like to know if it is necessary to redo the alignment after changing the suspension ball joint. Kind regards
Hello, the ball joint is originally set on the triangle. Please specify that it is necessary to drill to remove the rivets, always replace the clamping screw on the pivot.
