Re: Argh!!!! MOT Failure :(

well im part way thru trying to sort the brakes after trying for 2 hours to remove one brake drum. and thaks to scott for sortin me out with a lambda.
im not sure what to do as far as the rear bush is concerned though. do i get a new or newer full rear arm for the left side or do i try and fit a new bush? i know pete has fitted poly rear bushes to his but how easy is it to do? and is it worth it?
so this is how she stands at the mo with her rear end about 2ft off the floor

Re: Argh!!!! MOT Failure :(

If you fit a second hand rear arm, you will be faced with doing it again next year at MOT time, probably. So bite the bullet and do itv right the first time, polybush them both.

Cheers

The arms are generally hard wearing, if a little crusty. If they clean up OK, then rebush them.
