    yes sean very good but all the things i have heared about them and my personal experience i have found them bad! specially with series vehicals as they cant be "bothered" with them.

    Axel Check Straps

    if i fit straps my articulation will be shortened! and yes if i am going slowley i can apply handbreak! and for getting home after i always carry a flexi hose with me!

    the thing is i am only going to be geting large suspension articulation when i am going slowley off road so if brakes fail then it will be fine! will extra long felxi hoses fix the problem of no straps?

    front swivel balls

    those bottles from paddocks look like they are about 1/2 a liter and that is the amount of oil that is needed to fill the swivel balls... i looked in the workshop manual!!

    front swivel balls

    is it worth renewing them asap or is it alright if i just put a bit of oil in now and again?

    front swivel balls

    i filled my frount swivel balls up the other day after i found they had NO oil in them. after about a day all the oil drained out... bad seal i think and a bit of corrosion! is there any moving parts in there that really need oil or shall i just leave it be as i am thinking of renewing them soon?
