noticed today the arm at the very back when looking from back of car. its on a 45degree angle and has a noticable gash were it took a hideing :lol:

every bump i went over made it pull to one side hard and sounded like a dodgey shock for a start, and very rough ride. surprise suprise :lol:

Spray the bolt and nut that hold the arm to the hub/strut with crc right now...
Spray it again before you undo the nut and bolt.

This is because it can be very difficult to get the bolt out from where it goes throught the hub.

The arm might cost you $15 or $20 from pick a part.

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!
