while travelling at my usual immodest pace down a bit of very uneven road the other day, I noticed that the disco appeared to be prone to wander all over the place. "Hmmm," I thought (OWTTE) "I wonder if the tracking's out". Took it into the local garage and sure enough, toe out by 3.5mm. wonder how that happened.
at the same time, noticed the drop arm ball joint had about lots of play in it. Bugger. spent the latter part of yesterday morning installing new joint. wonder what sod designed that arm/joint so that there's nothing of the top half shell to impinge on with a hammer'n'punch to remove it?
tried heating it, tried all sorts. in the end I heated the top shell enough to soften it and put a hacksaw through the bugger to loosen it. Then it finally came out.
However, it steers a lot nicer now, so I guess it was worth it.
