Fyi..

Wishbones replaced last Julyish
My geometry was done in April
1 wishbone just showing signs of play..

But I do have uneven wear (some was caused before geometry was done though)

I hope to have them by the lakes meet, but highly unlikely to have fitted them.

Just looking at the guides etc, probably a bit awkward to do on a campsite.  Shame as all new shocks / springs etc, so well setup otherwise.

Its removing the old ones.  If they come out easy (using the drilling/cutting method), its do-able. Otherwise, its going to be a pain.

Cutting the front ones out is easy enough in theory. It's just getting access under the car. A suitable chop saw type cordless tool would be handy.

Shaks was nice, sharp even.     

TBE will be fairly hopeless on it's current suspension I would think.

Jimbobs will be interesting if done in time.


I guess some sort of chop saw would be handy for cutting the bush outer to remove the standard ones.

I used my Bosch alligator saw with a metal cutting blade, works well if you're careful.

I bought both the wishbone and roll bar set, they look like the ones I got, but I've only fitted the wishbones thus far. It definitely firms up the front end. ChrisG had a quick spin in it just after I fitted them. The roll bar looks like an awkward job, which I've chickened out of so far.

Same here Chris ........... 

On the TDs, I reckon that it's easiest if you (carefully) lower the sub-frame a touch.
However, my geometry is currently spot on, and I'm reluctant to disturb things - could make-up some locating dowels though, I suppose :-/

Thanks for that idea Byron, I'll keep that in mind. I still haven't got round to changing the AR25 to AR35 on the TD, too much work on son's house, daughter's car, and golf matches to play. I think there's a theme here, but can't quite get a hold of it. :-/ :-/ :-/
