yeah thanx for the tips man always appreciated
I actualy got most of it pulled apart on the weekend, even fitted some braided lines ..despite all its hard knocks my car must be in pretty good nick still, cause the joints i've done are just popping with a little tap or 2 from the hammer, I only used wd40 on one stuck nut..I still have to drop the control arms out though..
pedders told me the tierod was fine even though the rubber was split, but i want to fix it for my own vanity....they also told me to shake the wheel like u said, bit hard with no wheels or brakes on it..I will bolt the wheel back on and give it a shake.
Though he knew i was going to fix anything wrong myself so he had nothing to gain telling me things were broken that werent..
Im not sure if I will just replace one or the lot..i hate doing one side and not the other, even though it probably doesnt matter..
I fluked a set of driftworx poly control arm bushes for 30$....so all up if I replace both rods and balls and the bushes its about 150$, for pedders to replace just the ball joint was asking 120$..
I wouldnt mind some stiffer rack mounts and adjustable castor rods or bushes but these can wait..
I was told to replace the ball joint and bring it back for alignment, so i think he'll be happy with what ive done..
