well another ,kick, in the teeth today,,,  jacked the front up to crawl under ,,, when i let the jack down,, the steering looked out of track again,,  . so ijacked it back up and things moved ,,, so i put it down to ,,bump steer,,,, then i thought some more  so i measured some supension points with it sat on its wheels, then jacked it up . then measured them again,  then i found the problem the supension turrets/top wishbone,,,top shocker mounts flex by upto 6mm yet another thing that will have to be re-worked |

he should be ok ,, he,s just had weetabix, squished up in warm milk for his supper as he missed out on his dinner and hadn,t had anything since last night,, as for the suspension mod it involve some very heavy gauge steel welded into a cross member under the front of the sump conecting the suspension towers each side ,,,, sort of an upside down under sump strut brace |
