MattMe Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 oh no! Just received my new compression arm from Zmamalex only to find I'm stuck. Where the arm connects to the chassis I've removed the nut but can't see how to take out the bolt holding it to the subframe. I don't have to drop the entire subframe do I?? I hope not. Started a bit late to be doing that! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Yes mate you have to drop the metal frame as the 100 ml long stud is fixed the the chassis. I comes down fairly easy and best to take it completely off. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMe Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Thanks Alex. I think I was just expecting the arm to come out without having to drop the subframe. Soon after posting I realised it wasn't going to be that easy. Never is! To be fair it only took 10 minutes to drop it - should have just got on with it rather than stressing! Fairly easy job after getting the ball joint end nut off. It was spinning and wasn't very easy to get any tools on it to help. It drives like a new car now. I hadn't realised how bad it got until replacing it, wish I'd have done it sooner! A bit of superglue on that cracked boot seems to have worked okay too Thanks again.
