Oh yeah, who took the picture of the bushes? Most amusing.  :o :D
Didn't you take the pics?
So I did. These hold the rear of the subframe to the chassis. Or did once.
Bar a small area, one was completely detached.

Btw, I think you should have kept the bushes to "show" your Mot man next time he gets cocky. I spotted these failing when we lpg'd it, what, 18 months ago?

Maybe he should be made to hang one from HIS rear view mirror as penance!   >:(.

The back end is an awful lot tighter now. Esp as I've done up the wheel bolts as well ;D

Sits a little high, though, IMHO.  Which probably shows how use I'd gotten to its sagging ass.

It's nicely balanced as is, after fixing the omission we both forgot. Underpants survived in tact.

So, whats the chance that you have been trying to change rear springs with the handbrake on and park engaged......

As it happens both where engaged when we did the work. I parked it, so as to give best acess to the rear on my drive, it was in park. I would not normally apply the hand brake but I made a very deliberate point of doing so....  given the owner and fear of a bollocking  :-X

I did comment at the time, are you sure this isn't just a ploy to get someone else to do the work for you? (and visit my house, you know what he,s like)

Reason I ask is that if you lock the wheels then the trailing arms dont dro. Similarly, you can get a surprise when fitting lowering springs and finding the rear end high when you drop it back down if the handbrake is applied.

Having it in park locks the prop and does a similar thing.  :y

Speaking of the Lakes, Gayboy, when are you going, and are you passing my place? If so, got room for a couple of boxes for the Cripple?
