Notes:

I wanted to fix the front suspension of my car. In winter, the roads are not sweet, and right after the purchase I was given advice on replacing some of the levers. Also, the reason for the quick replacement of the suspension was a characteristic crunch at the start of the car (one-time). Ordered the necessary parts.
