All fixed now, the engineer took the end out of the arm and cleaned the thread using their lathe.

It went on easy as and ready for a test drive.

Had a big week at work so the ute will have to wait for a good run.

While I was doing the bushes I got hold of some HD sway bar extension so hoping all the front end works in unison and handling is improved.

She used to wander a bit and driving was correcting all the time, I never noticed but my wife did. I thought she is onto something so hopefully all this work will improve the on road behaviour.

For the ute owners the sway bar bushes are a different size for the leaf rear models, 20mm over 15mm for the coils.
