well got the a-frame ball joint done
took the ball joint an bracket to local engineers, an they pressed old one out an put new one in for 20 quid well pleased with that
an after all friday afternoon an nearly all day saturday trying to get the bastid off it only took me an hour an half to put it back on
so thats only the shockers to do now but need new shockers an some spring compressers first b4 i atempt it.
wish me luck
goin in on friday
but might say fook it for a few weeks coz i fancy a bit of green laning
an i've got to say it feels a much stiffer ride an the back end feels higher,
lots of hard work but worth the time, money an effort
