Who needs relocation cones

Sorry I opened my mouth before looking on t'internet ...
(From the Terrafiema wesite)
It is worth noting that Terrafirma coil springs are sold in pairs, in many cases one spring is 10mm longer than the other, the longer spring should always be fitted to the driver’s side.

I've got +2 springs and shocks and have jubilee clips at the mo until next week when I fit dislocation cones

Fitted the cones and new spring on the rear last night,
Not to hard a job the only really fiddly bit was getting the new bolts through the spring retaining bar and the seats. The bolts were far to long and fouled the axle so I put two M10 nuts on first.

I also needed to remove the shock on the drivers side (I did the nearside first) to allow the axle to lower far enough to get the spring located correctly.
I cleaned up the lower mount and seats using Dinitrol RC800 and flashed over the top with Hammerite rust beater/primer and smeared them liberally with copper grease before putting them back.

There's some nutritious, humus rich deposits on that axle. Makes me want to plant potatoes.

Spoken like the true horticulturalist. I know it's out of season but I was alluding to the phrase grown ups sometime use when they're cleaning out children's ears: 'You could plant potatoes in there'

Washing wont rust it as much as earth and veg matter holding moisture on the surface!

I am 52, and fairly fit for my age!

But at least my axles are clean!

As you are one of my missus homies from Lanark, call by the farm if you are in the area, and I will pressure wash and steam clean it for you!
