And the ongoing saga of the front suspension rebuild continues....3 weeks to strip and rebuild one side; 2 days to strip the other. Now for the rebuild.
I decided to take of the front (stock?) sway bar to replace the worn rubber bushings with some nice new urethane ones from TRF. But - does anyone have a clue how to get them on???! When I compress one in a clamp to pretty much maximum, the hole is still ~3-4 mm too narrow to fit over the flattened end of the sway bar. Maybe gentle heating might help, along with some grease? But I don't see how to get around this difference in size. In the TRF catalogue, this bush is sold along with the same sway bar, so it _must_ work. Somehow.
Cheers,
Mark
