There is a little play in the draglink thingies.
But this morning I noticed I had no suspension on the passenger side:eek:.
The arm is sitting on the bumpstop:eek:.

I thought it my be elts old problem of the torsion bar bolt snapping:nenau.
Only had a quick glance as had nice clean cloths. But all looked there?

that's probably cos the torsions are wound up to the max so you lose all droop travel.
I lowered mine down a touch to correct the camber and give me a bit of travel.

[The Patrolman]

elt going hardcore:D

[makeitfit]

Steve, have you checked your comp rod bush/mount ?
Also it's not un heard of for the top arm to bend, unusual but poss. Check top arm bushes too.
At the back end I noticed your tyre is catching in the wheel tub. You may need to trim some wing away or fit a bump stop so as to restrict the last bit of up travel.What can happen is that wheel will jam/ brake and so the other will spin early. Could also be your panhard rod if it only happens on o e side ;)

comprod bushes knackered.top arm bushes knackered.
as for loosing travel with bump stops noooooo:eek: don't mind making me truck lighter and cutting bits off:D

but that doesn't explain why my passenger side front wheel looks:beer drunk.
and if the torsion bars are wound up doesn't that give you more clearance from arm to bump stop not less?
passenger side is sitting on stop.
I will start new thread after taking some daylight pics

[makeitfit]

I meant the rear bump stop mate ;)
My rear wheel arches are trimmed for 35s but when I had 33s on they were wider ones and only just polished the paint on full flex. There's such a fine line with tyre width and wheel offset .
Start the new thread and we'll go from there :D
Pissed front wheel/camber could also be ball joint collapse :o
