Mark (smokey mow) Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 That looks ok, but i think you may be missing a washer between the upper shock mounting bracket and the top of the diff frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darve Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 bit of help please I'm trying to tighten up the lower ball joint castle nut and the ball joint is just spinning I've given it a good few taps with the hammer to try and seat the ball joint but not having much luck. any tips please?? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Put a G-clamp around the balljoint and upright to hold the taper of the balljoint firmly in while you do it up. It just needs a bit of friction to stop it spinning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darve Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 brake fitting clips turned up today so was able to for the front brakes now here comes what I think us a real newbie question! is it normal for the pads to rub on the disks until the brakes are bled? still waiting for the rear rhs upper wishbone to arrive and I'll have everything to get to a rolling chassis stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
