Samsonas Rally Suspension Rebuild Part 1- Basic Regrease Procedure

This video focuses on how to disassemble and regrease Samsonas club rally suspension! With small variations, this will be the same process for similar inverted shock coilover rally suspensions.
This is a common maintenance procedure, and in the video I go over criteria to determine when you should consider doing this to your own suspension.
Grease used:
Red Line CV-2

This is awesome. Is that a UConn shirt! If it is nice to see CT representing. Question, do you only changed the grease not the bushing?

[@DylanGondyke]

Yes it is! I live in CT. The bushing is very rarely changed- only if it incurs major damage. We change the grease so frequently because of the contaminants that inevitably get past the seal in the extreme environment of the rally- Sand and moisture will kill the internals of the suspension, pit the ground and plated surface of the damper shaft, etc... unless we frequently service the units.

@@DylanGondyke awesome I grew up in Fairfield county. Where would you order bushing from if it’s needed?

[@DylanGondyke]

@ariesanfilippo1078 usually the original manufacturer, but if not available from them there are also generic oil impregnated bronze bushings available from many sources online

@@DylanGondyke appreciate it my guy. I got a type r sti and I want to keep the coilovers it has. I believe they are the sti model. So I wanna just do the maintenance that you did. Has 90,000 miles on it

What kind of grease you use?

[@DylanGondyke]

I use Redline CV2 for all my suspension rebuild needs. Very happy with the performance and the tack levels are good for rebuilds
