Hi

 

Forgive me if this is a daft question; are the prop uj the same as drive shaft uj?

Hi there. A mate with a garage said he had a spring compressor (foot operated job) that'd do any spring. I now know that spit springs are tooooo tiny for anything standard. Long shot but anyone in the North Kent area have a spitfire spring compressor I can hire for 24 hours to get the old gal back on 4 wheels. Have Volvo will travel as they say. Anyone able to offer help for a drink?

 

Cheers

Now the fun starts. Took off the anti roll bar. Got in on a bench to de-gunk it and it seems the drivers side is about 1/2 an inch higher than the passenger side. Surely this must have been affecting my set up? Anyone know an easy way to take out the bend?

Planning complete strip clean repaint rebush and new springs/dampers

 

Is it possible to remove as a complete unit the wishbone and coil/shock assembly?

 

I thought it would be easier to strip the units on a bench rather than on the driveway?

 

Any thoughts?
