Hiya Neil, I'm thinking now of stripping it down then buying any extras I need. Will meen bring off the road a bit longer , but then I know I'll be getting what I need. Doesn't the lower ball joint need a fairly hefty press for removal and refitting ?

use poly bushes on the steering rack it will improve the steering for only a few quid extra.
