Thanks Gaz, no, not had it at full articulation yet... we're off to Shropshire on the 8th, so I need to try it before then... no use going 'laning and the tyres hitting the bumpers?!

I think the springs have settled a bit too after 18 months / 22 'laning and offroading trips, so I'm onto Rus for a new set at the moment too...

Cheers Gus, "he-man persona" ? :S You've seen me? I'm a 13 stone skinny weakling these days?! :blush:

Found this while I was tinkering yesterday too -



One of the rear radius arm bushes had destroyed itself?!



18 months and 22 trips though...

Noticed the bolt hole is elongated too, so will need to weld some washers over it on the next strip and rebuild too :(

Meanwhile...



Another one slips in easily with the radius arm in situ on the Jimny B) (you can see the SLOTS for holes in the photo above)



Lost a little (couple of inches taller tyres) rear visability, but still plenty, and more than having the spare on the rear door... not that it - and the hinges in particular - would take the weight now!! :blink:

Yea last thing you want is to damage the tyres.may need some extended bumps stops but sure fresh springs will sort the job.mine have sagged too looking at cheaper options other than buying new springs.
