Hello, my lack of funds to buy the new car that i want has forced me to repair the old girl to get her through the MOT. it started out as just tie rod ends, but i knew the anti roll bar drop links were dead, and so i changed them too, after that i took it to the garage to have the tracking done and they said the suspension arm bushes were too worn to do an accurate measurement, so i spent the weekend doing the rear brake hoses and a complete flush of brake fluid, and then Sunday i changed the suspension arm bushes. it's a horrible job, and i would strongly recommend to anyone to just buy the complete arm, bushes included and pre fitted, it's well worth the extra small amount of cash.
so much hammering later, i have the new bushes on, but i still have a problem.
could it be the transmission arm CV joints?
also, i have what seems to me, to be, a lot of play in the gearbox, when one side of the front is jacked up and 1st gear is engaged, i can turn the wheel about 5cm before it stops.
any ideas welcome.
thanks.
