Makes all the difference with new lower suspension arms, just be careful when undoing the bolts that screw into the subframe, too much pressure and they can snap which isn't what you want...

Wishbones by any chance? Current set only been on for approx 8 months but at the price nowadays will probably change them anyway just to be sure.

Also don't quite understand this "if you have changed the suspension or springs or both get the nut thats up the top underneath the suspension as they are common fault "

Get the nut and then what? Adjust, replace? Also any pics of this particular nut?

thats exactly what is currently happening to mine. Does this mean that I don't have to replace the bones again? just get the spanner out?

Still not sure which nut, have you got a photo or a diagram pointing to the nut in question?

cheers

This mechanic seems to be more elusive than the scarlet pimpernel?

Think big-gordy's more elusive than the mechanic!
