Poly bush or Standard.. you decide

Ill start making another list
Poly bush v standard , now that's a good question

Top and Bottom ball joints !!

neil.

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 ?

just to let you know I am doing the same job to my van and gona replace the whole lot , after 25 years , she need a little TLC, but re the lower ball joint yes a big press , but i have a friend who works at Merc trucks who have a press, so he,s gona sort that out for me .

Ha , it's allright for some

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