Right so another update. earlish start today. gave the car a good wash, and dry and clean in the arches, then up on to stand and front wheels off, remove the front uprights and drive shafts, i also removed the right hand damper/strut to give me more access to finish the chassis notch. then on with fitting the new drive shafts and uprights, every thing torqued up and cambers set and toe set.

I've now got 2.6 deg of rear camber with 4mm of toe in

and 2.4 deg of front camber with the toes pretty much level, maybe 0.? toe out.

over all I'm happy car drive alot better but it still hasn't sorted the problem of a vibration at around 60mph. and its annoying me now. and I've also got to get two new abs/wheel speed sensors and i smashed the f out of one then released you cant get them out once they have been in there so long. some pictures
