Another yearly update on this thing

 did a pre wof check on it myself and found some play in the front top inner arm bushes. so had to order the parts in from the USA

 since ive owned this car i always had thought it had a rubber bush for the top inner A arm bushes. but no they actually have a nut and thread and use grease to keep them quiet and not wearing out. my car never had any grease nipples in there to keep them lubricated. bit of a shit design really but that's what they came up with.

pulled the arm off

old vs new ones

fitted new ones to both sides and added grease nipples. now no play in the front suspension.

also while i ordered the shaft kits i ordered some bits for the steering wheel.
