Front arms
Started on replacing the front arms+trackrod ends today using AF bits.
O/S front top done and disc/calliper off ready to remove the hub.
Then I was told to stop making a noise and disturbing the neighbours
Biggest PIA was the bad thread on the brake flexi mounting bracket hole in the top arm
Other arm checked and OK so must be a duffer.
Bottom arm and re-assemble to tomorrow then onto the other side

Yep, top and bottom.
Did the ARB links and bushes earlier in the year (hoping it would fix the speed hump knock, but it didn't )

End of day two and with critical equipment loan (electric impact driver) from Blue Meanie, we are stripped down (ooh err missus)!
Tomorrow is re-assembly day
SWMBO keeps taking a look, wanting to know what is taking so long and which bits I'm swapping. Hope she doesn't spot the shiny new V8 brakes going back on!

All done by 6pm Sunday and out for a test drive. Brakes still bedding in but the knock on sharp braking has disappeared
