Morning Chaps
I havent posted a problem for a while so i thought i would Right ive managed to get the new springs on and they haven’t coiled yippee also the back doesn’t look like its cambering so bad now although the ride height is slightly higher which isn’t a problem, but the fronts Passenger side still has positive camber even after changing the top mounts. The positive doesn’t look as bad as it did before mind you but i still need to get it sorted ASAP.
In previous posts measuring was mentioned but where do i measure to and from? So far I have changed the following on the fronts:
1) Track Rod Ends
2) ARB Links
3) Wishbones
4) Top Mounts
5) Silver plates that go under the bonnet for the top mounts.
6) Shocks and springs
None of which look bent in anyway shape or form, also they don’t look new as they where both very rusty the badge.
Any help as always is much appreciated
