Title: Rear suspension arm
Post by: Kate on 13 April 2016, 11:27:49
Has anyone fitted a new rear suspension arm before? Is it a difficult job? How long does it take? Is it a mechanic only job or could a novice do it?

Helfrauds said my miggy needs this doing for the MOT.

Many thanks for any advice. :y :-* :-* :-*

It's easy enough to remove, just like a front track rod. Easy to replace too. But then you will have to adjust it.You may get away with setting it the same length as the old one, but never works for me on front track rods. Otherwise it's off for a full geometry set up.
