Replace Alfa156 front shock lower bushes

My mechanic asked me if I want to replace some front shock lower bushes. The targeted benefit is to further improve the up-and-down response of the front wheels. I said why not as the front lower suspension arm has been in services for a few years, the bushes likely have worn out. And they are about to.

Dampers and springs replacement – part 3

Handling of the new dampers and springs:

(The following comment is largely based on comparison with the Sachs set, however, it may not be a fair comparison because the Sachs dampers and springs have run for 4 years and deteriorated a lot. Moreover, I’m not a skilful enough driver to push both suspension sets to their limits in the corners.)
