[doc] Re: Frenchy's Resurection!

["Stuart Dyke" <stuartdyke99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

2.O/S/F lower suspension arm rear bush perished. (Thinking of 
replacing both front lower suspension arms anyway. Anybody have some 
for sale, in good condition, with bushes maybe? Or is this another 
DMCH jobby too?)

You can't get the suspension arms new any more, thought you can pay 
through the nose and get stainless ones. We have recently had a set 
of arms nylon plastic-coated which results in a really beautiful and 
extremely durable shiny black finish. It also has the side-effect of 
dirt not sticking to it! All ball joints and bushes must be removed 
to have this done though, and the upper arm bushes have to be 
destroyed to get them out. The lower ball joint and lower bush must 
be pressed out and the fastners on the upper ball joint has to be cut 
off and replaced with bolts afterwards. BTW the lower arm has only 
one bush, but it's quite long.

Thanks for your advice Martin, do you have a rough guestimate of the 
cost of all parts required to do this??

Many Thanks

Stuart
