Worried now...
I have a 2000 limited edition 2litre PT in inferno red. I'm about to embark on this unavoidable maintainance task (Unavoidable as I live in "The land or speed humps and roundabouts... The UK)
How likely is it, that this welding will sheer when I start playing at the weekend?
If it does decide to play hardball, how hard is it to get at from the interior of the vehicle?
Many Thanks for any replies ( I'm a newbie you see)
Just a quick update, I have changed both sets of bushes on both sides. A pig of a job but I had no problems with any nuts sheering or spinning. Just use plenty of penetrating fluid (only if you are replacing with new bush because petroleum based lubricant can damage bushes).
Hoping to get rear watts link and anti roll bar done next week. Let you know how it goes.
