    Cheers daz.. I have already replaced it with parts from my donor car but want to replace them with something tougher as that was shitful.
    How much are the stronger ones?

    Photos look crap when uploaded through motorculture. ..

    Might post some up again when I download on my puter.

    Just got back from toorak and when making tight turns the car runs wide and feels like the tyre is coming off..

    The right pinion bearing has shit itself on the top and there is nearly half a centimeter of play..... scary.. locker is still another week away, that will be a one month wait for aussie made.

    Jonathan bent his lower control arm coz when he tried to go up the last track the back wheel came off the ground spinning and when it came down the tyre bogged down and tried to lift the front of the car but because they're hollow it gave in..

    My mate has the video and we studied it carefully to see what happened.

    They are usually bent first. Usually from skull dragging up a ledge. I bent my stock ones the first time I went to the glass house for the first time, another bloke in the group snapped both in a GU not pretty., I welded a spine along the top after I straightened it in a press.

    Bugger.. But the good thing is that they lay-by. I think up to 20 weeks, but not sure. I am lay-bying some gear at them moment. They can be very flexible with payment to which is good.

    Yeah same spot.. had fixed in no time but the problem in the front is much worse.

    I checked the top swivel bearing and it seems it is a wheel bearing that has let go.. bugger!!!

    I have the rebuild kit here but no time and a wife who is going to shoot me.

    Pissed off about that lokka

    I remember seeing a small kink in Jonathan's lower control arms about 3 weeks ago but i guess something has got give under the conditions the cars go thru and its not like he was being a cowboy or anything, you will see when i get the video..
