russj249 2 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Just thought I'd say that they were a b!tch to do today!!Bit of advice for anyone who needs to do them..heat the ARB up (after dropping it down away from the uprights both sides) red hot then get some stuff from halfords called "shock and unlock"! Spray it on thick so it's wet. Give it a few mins then get the blow torch out again and heat up full.. and those seemingly seized drop links pop out the a pair of mole grips on the nut bit.Bit of a plug really for halfords but this stuff was great. I didn't think it'd work but I was amazed it was cracking the rust as i sprayed it on. So heating it up again just freed it so easily!!Now for the biggy..I've got to replace the o/s steering arm and track rod end directly from the steering rack. Anyone ever replaced this as I'm not sure and it looks a bit trickyer than the drop links. I know it screws into the rack but is there a catch as it looks pretty straight forward.. almost too straight forward to be right.. or is this a b!tch too? Link to post Share on other sites
