Re: Front radius arm bush cups

Ah Bollocks!! £60? I bet its NLA now? :( Maybe I can find a big washer for now

I'd not be too keen on that radius arm mount, when the other cup rotted off on mine it made a big difference to driving, random clunks and movement from the wheel where it shouldn't be moving. Probably help it pass the MOT - if it's not there it's not bro...

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily

Ye I had that issue, that kinda stalled it because I wanted to get someone to make the inserts up but couldn't afford it, since then it dropped significantly in priority, my student loan never has enough spare :(.

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily

Re: Unstable at speed

Check all bolts at the back, wheel bearing collapsed? wheels balenced? axle bent? did you do any damage when you smashed that wheel?
