Suspension Part I

The car crashing through bumps has been driving me mad, but a drive with a friend at the weekend was quite embarassing, so I’ve decided that it’s time to get cracking on the suspension.

Fitted the uprated 22mm ARB bushes

Put on a new pair of droplinks too*. The test drive afterwards has revealed that some of the noises have been cured, I suspect the remainder of strange noises are coming from the wishbones so they’re next.

I’m still contemplating whether or not the trackrod ends should be done too. There’s some who reckon so and I’m not sure about the ball joints. My current feeling is to do the wishbones and then see how the ride is. This is going to be irritating if I have to get more work done, but I’m increasingly confident that the Wishbones will be a job that I can do myself.

*The most time consuming part of the job as both lower nuts wouldn’t come off the ends of the threads so had to be sawn off.
