Hi all,
I was lowering my sei sx today using just lowering springs, all was going fine until we started on the fronts.
Stupidly, i followed the Haynes (cinq manual btw) and *tried* to remove the tie rod end for some stupid reason. On half way through i realised, i dont need to do this to remove the strut.
Anyhow, to cut a VERY long story short, the tie rod end has had it also, because of all the faffing about, the lower suspension ball joint is knackerd.
What a day.
So, i now that i need a whole new lower suspension arm, but how the hell do you use those ball joint seperators? I bought the one with a bolt in that you suppodesly screw up onto the thread and it pops off (yeah righto),
does the tie rod end (a new one) come with the thread? i hope so
how much am i looking to pay for a second hand lower suspension arm.
If i would have just left the track rod end, all would be fine.
So please, can someone offer any advice?
Thank you
Soph.
