Hi - sorry another question, keep finding little things that need doing - will post a welcome thread once I've got these bits sorted!

I've been draining all the old EP90 and putting fresh stuff in - on LH side swivel pin housing the top 4 bolts on the pin were finger tight, and the bottom ones were pretty loose too, so when I opened the drain nothing came out! I've tightened all 8 up now and it's not leaking and there isn't any play.

Chrome balls are in good condition.

Is there anything to be wary of?

Thanks!
 
Hi and welcome, the studs are normally loctited in and sealed against leaks on t(e lower arm face, you should have lock washers on to stop nuts coming loose and the resistance to sideways movement checked, I used some suitcase scales approx 4 kg , it’s adjusted by adding or removing the shims on top
