Torsion Arm..Ball joint

Right Grease Monkey on hand...prep fro MOT..All good...hmm ball joint some play

..right Discs calipers etc off...front shock off...remove pinch screw from top torsion beam...welt the torsion arm out of the front axle/torsion beam....easy peasy!!!!


Right Grease Monkey has fucked off home on his motor bike cause its raining....right now what? I know stare aimlessly at the front suspension lying in tatters on your lawn...
hmmmm hope I can remember how it all bolts together again...not too mention that ALL the bolts slip on again as easily as they did off.





Must remember that when they put it back together agin these bits line up...apparently : }

    Wow..........cant we just replace the boot!! MOT on saturday! Well better doing the job proper or PROPER JOB! Did Gary point out the rust hole in the front deformation panel. Welding or temporary filler and paint for MOT?? Looks as thought you are getting to Know her quite intimately already!! Got a name yet?

    WOW, well done for getting that far! I reckon I can see where the split boot has caused corrosion on that ball joint and hence the excessive play, you need a ball joint puller to seperate that arm. Have you sourced the new ball joint? Might be tricky to get before saturday! Best of luck mate I'm having similar woes - linkpin just does not want to go back in lol!
