Potential GB - Powerflex missing bushes

[Skull]

brake harlines permitting

i hate them

[S2central.net]

Cool - thats even easier then... rusty bolts permitting !

[lind4hl]

yep, you can get it down with shock,springs and upper wisbones still bolted together

[S2central.net]

Well if you can remove the top of strut/damper without messing with upper wishbones that would be even better... Saves the need to disconnect lower fixing on strut as well

[lind4hl]

s2 central, i could not get the upper a-arms bolt out when this was bolted to the car. so you need to take the whole package out.

Thanks for all the support guys...

I'll be starting at 9.00am Monday 22nd, if you need directions i can PM you my post code...



And all are

With a big enough hammer, you'll be done by lunchtime

Seriously though --->

1. Disconnect prop & probably need to get the zorst out of the way too
2. Slacken forward diff mount where it connects onto chassis
3. Remove handbrake cables and Remove flexible brake lines
4. Unbolt upper wishbone inner mounts to the top of strut/damper
5. Unbolt dampers from where they connect to lower wishbones
6. Remove the four subframe bolts with it all secured on a jack to drop all as one

Easy to say innit !!!

AFAIK the subframes are the same, only the bushes are different. 2 have offset, 2 dont.

Ooohhh excellent

Yeah there is an early type and late, the mounting bushes to chassis are different... One type has 2 front bushes and 2 different rear ones (all on rear subframe), the other type has 4 off the same bushes.

I have the cast upper arms as spares, on the car are the pressed version.

Subframe, didn't know there were any differences...

Paul...i hope you meant the car too...

[madpugger]

Carlos - get stripping my good man - and lots of photos along the way please in a separate thread !!!!

I hope you mean the car!

Yeah if you could give me some details I will pass them on to Paul (Powerflex) and see where we go from there. It would be nice to know what subframe you have, and what upper arms. And whether you would miss them for a month or so.
