Something bad has happened today..
I jacked the car up to remove the front disks as I wanted to get them skimmed due to a slight judder under braking, but it became obvious that one of the tension rod bushes was on its way out as there was 'goo' seeping from it which I guess was causing the judder. One thing lead to another, as usual, which resulted in the entire front end being stripped off. And I mean, everything!
I've always wanted to do the front of the car as I did the rear, so here's my chance. I'm unsure whether to remove the engine subframe too - would it be ok to support the engine with a plank of wood under the sump while the subframe is off?
I'll drop everything off at the platers/powder coaters on Tuesday, and pick it all up on Friday for a rebuild next weekend! As long as I can get 2 new track rod ends by next weekend too. Pics to follow in the morning.
