How to Restore & Improve Classic Car Suspension, Steering & Wheels

Steering and suspension are among the most vital safety components. As a result, many classic owners who are happy to tune a carb or replace a timing belt are put off when it comes to replacing a ball joint. Understandable though this is, Veloce’s new book shows just how simple most set-ups are and that the DIY-er need not be so reluctant. With 680 full colour images, there are plenty of illustrations to explain things and sections devoted both to repair and modification. If you’re intimidated by classic suspension, but want to give it a go, this book’s for you. - Classic Car Weekly. It gives a good insight into how vehicle suspension works and includes some interesting ideas on updating and maintaining areas which could be applicable. - Mini World. A good selection of colour illustrations and helpful charts enhance the largely useful information in the copy, which enables readers to become familiar with the components in question on their car, and includes descriptions of how these components work together. Any interested party wishing to get more understanding of the tricks in restoring and improving these areas of a car should find this book to be helpful, informative and quite possibly interesting. - IRDC Quattro.
