Sorry about that :oops:   I think a big lift does put a bit of strain on the rear balljoint though.

I have seen an expensive looking A arm setup in one of the comics but as they use a rose-joint with no rubber boot at all I'll be leaving that in the shop.
The only polubushes I have yet to fit are those ones.  Maybe I'll pay someone to do it for me.........

Strange that , must be a south yorkshire thing, I have those polys left in the garage along with a new ball joint and as it isnt playing up yet im leaving it till it does!

did one last week at work & the easiest bit was fitting & removing the unit itself,when it came to the balljoint had to go easy cutting the lugs off then pressing it out & fired it out the workshop door & then press it back in & refit

god i hate that job & got one to do next week
