Very nice! I really need to do the castor correction, how did you feel it was different?

Nice as well ;-)

How did you get the bushes out? that bit of wood looks designed for it. I remember them being an absolute nighmare to get out without a huge press. ended up drilling and hammering them out (now on KAP corrected HD arms, which are v. good, except I have 4.5" spring height instead of the 3" they were made for :-) )

Tracks better straight forward, and doesnt feel so wiggly in center.. And it wants to go back to center by itself after a sharp turn..

The upgrade bushing on the rear end of the arm, is to reduce wobble.. And now it's wobble free! Atleast for now B)

First i put the arm on the piece of wood, and ran a 12mm drill through all three holes. Then i put in bolts through the holes in the wood, and checked that both arms where alligned, and the wood could be used as a jig / measure for the two front bushings.

Then i drilled 1 12mm hole through the rubber bushing, and cut the outter ring with a jigsaw. Be careful, very easy to cut to deep.
Then the bushings could be knocked out easily with a hammer. All bushings out within 30min.

A buddy brought the arms to his job, and pressed in bushings for me. And he used the "wood jig" to check the bolt hole distance.
Everything bolted up perfectly..

The motor showed up! 2007 Swift Sport 125hp.
I would love to use the sport intake, as it really looks heaps better than the Jimny intake, but that would need a new throttle body thats alot bigger.
The intake is 56mm , which is 10mm more than the M13a, and bolt CC is also approx 10mm wider.. So, not going to happen i guess.

Some pics






Car is booked for wheel allignment tomorrow, and approval of the lift kit on friday..
Motor swap will be after this is done!
