Could you get used to it??

[Dean]

na, it feels like a handbrake would if it pointed backwards.
I will have to see what they say, hope r/h drive ones are still available mine is badly split.

A slight update, my arb bushes arrived from citroen today so im in the process of tipping the back of the subframe down to get to them,

I'm very interested to hear how this goes as mine need doing.

[Dean]

ive disconnected the steering at the flexi, and so far as i can see all i need to do is take the braces off in the wheel arches and then unbolt the subframe and drop it down maybe 3 or 4 inches.
got a minidigger in to do some drainlaying this weekend so its not going to happen for at least a week but i will let you know if there are any issues.

Have you changed the anti-roll bar bushes yet Dean, if so how did it go?

[Dean]

.............Not yet, i was hoping to get on with it in a couple of weeks time, weather permitting of course. I will post up anything interesting or worrying Will .

I bought these bushes when i did all the balljoints an bushes on the front, but then decided that as i couldnt see them then they were clearly fine.....
That and the fact that it seemed a bit difficult!

[Dean]

they are nestled up out of the way thats for sure, i dont think they are going to pose any real issues though, dropping the subframe looks straight forward enough really..................Ive just bought a Mondeo so the xm will have to wait a until i can get that shifted on really.
