Rear Suspension Leg Mount

Post by ray3324 »

Hi All,

I have searched the Wiki and cant find any info on replacing the mount for the rear suspension leg.

Does any one have any idea if there an off the shelf version that can be welding on? My passenger side has cracked on the outside of the mount.

Just in case i have not described it right, it's the joint that is visible from from the side of the van right next to the wheel that mounts the suspension leg.

Also, is it driveable in this state? may sound like a silly question the inside of the mount appears to be fine.

Any help on this would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks for all the help guys.

I now have it sorted. In the end i had to get a new mount fabricated and welded on as the parts were really hard to get.

Thanks Again
