Got the nuts back on!!!

The car is now on its wheels but it seems that the n/s sits lower than the ofside???

I can just fit my hand under the drivers side wheel (between the arch and tyre)

but i can fit two hands under the passenger side!!!

Could i have put the struts back together wrong??

The springs seem to be seated properly

any suggestions? :?

OMG the feel of the car now that the front is slammed!!!

Its like a new car instead of a boat!!!

looks shcweet!!! :-D

many thanks for the help and advice, nice one guys!

I've just had to do this job today to get my front bearings done, what a complete ball-ache, wierdest suspension set-up I've ever seen.

For the top nut, i got a 6mm socket on the allen nut and gave it some good hard whacks with a hammer to free it up, sprayed it with WD40 and left it for 10 mins. The held a swan neck 19mm on the big nut, and a 6mm rachet on the allen nut, then tightened the allen, this free'd the whole lot up and then loosened the big nut.

Hey presto......took my 3 hours to get both hubs off though, need a kip now :oops:
