hey guys,
i found out that after a recent trip into the bush, that somewhere somehow ive wacked the lower left front wishbone support, near the pivot bolt and dial used for alignement.

the knock has actually bent the support about half an inch backwards!! Again...BLOODY IFS!!! and NO replies telling me to do a SAS either, unless u wanna shout the SAS urself!

my question is: does anybody recommend somebody (or a shop) in Sydney, preffereably not western suburbs, to be able to straighten this support, so the suspension works like new?

I dont trust myself with the oxy, hence I wanna get it done professionally!

Thanks.
Karl (unimpressed IFS driver) :twisted:

Karl, I bent mine back 1" 3/4" on both side on one rock up on slippery rock road, yes everyone knows the rock I'm talking about. Anyway you might have to bite the bullet and convert over to a live front end. If you choose to go this way see overkill engineering at hornsby.


cheers Fathilux

I preferred not Western Sydney cos I live on the northern beaches and work currently is based in surry hills, so to drop the thruck off and get to work, then get back to truck, pick up, would be an absolute pain in the butt.

But (butt??!) I appreciate the feedback, if im seriously stuck and cant find someone local, then I'll give them a call.

Thanks again Zukin4life
