Hi there,

 

The rubber covers on my 2B's wishbone suspension and track rod ends are splitting.

 

Does anyone know a supplier of replacements or, alternatively, the original supplier of the track rods and suspension joints to RHE? Someone suggested they were from the Austin Maxi; any one want to comment?

 

Hope there's someone out there with the answer - MoT looms !

 

Thanks

Hoping to tackle the job of replacing the boots etc over the weekend. Where can I find torque data for the joints?

You'll have to look in the relevant Haynes manual for the donor car.

Thats where the fun starts! Parts from various cars were used at different times.

TBH If you are prepared to tackle this type of maintenance, you should be able to judge from experience

how tight to go.

If you don't use a spanner or ratchet any longer than 150mm then you're probably not in danger of overtightening anything.

Thanks guys. Moved house recently and mislaid my Sierra manual, but I like the 'rule of thumb', or several thumbs to make 150 mm.
