As above, bent rod, straighten, and yer good to go. Even a slight bend can jam it.

All yer post said was near side? Does that mean the joint closest the near side, ie the swivel end?

Can someone just clarify the drag link end what side is r/h thread and what is the l/h? Reason is I bought 3x to do the two track rod ends which I have two R/h threads and I got one which is L/ H , presumably for the drag link. But is this the correct one for the swivel end of drag link?

I was looking out my upstairs window at my disco, and it struck me how clean and as new looking it was compared to the rest of the landy . It occurred to me, that I have never really washed the roof, and it's this that has kept the paint shiny, and free of swirl marks. My advice, leave it alone...

I can't find my finished arch repair pics but here is the similar near side hole and the off side repair ( not YRM just me having a go with some spare steel.not the neatest but it's not on show this area

And getting there

Hehe doing mine just now after Mot fail. Got near side sill done today ( off side sill done last year and front and rear wheel archs. Then got front most and rear most mounts to do ,then a crater come extra door in the boot side. Used YRM as said . Very good, quick and decent prices and fit...

Evnin, right after spending best part of two weeks ( in stages) welding rear boot floor and sides . My disco failed today needing you guessed it, welding. It failed on n/s sill ( fine , done o/s last year) , but also front most and rear most body mounts. Regarding fitting new mounts, do I...

I eventually went to Weld-Tec. Can't rate them enough. The guys are very friendly, approachable and even waited for me after closing time :-D £20 for bottle fill and £50 deposit so chuffed with that.

Great, cheers for that if I don't reply it's coz the missus is telling me tar get tae ma bed. :0)

Furaboots wolf? It was machine mart in great western road I was at today to get the gas and new tips. They always seem reasonable and have all the bits n bobs . Halfords in paisley stopped doing welding gear after a recent refit :0(

Cheers again trax, still a bit out my price range at the moment . That was a double filled co2/argon I got for 15 at machine mart , bought the normal sized one before but didn't last. I'll see how this goes , but I think if I was looking at doing a lot then I suppose hobbyweld would work out...

Cheers trax , was even thinking of stoking one of the kids balloons over the nozel Waaaaahahahaaaa.

Cheers wolf, I just have the gas up full anyway as it's the stupid wee bottles and air line im using even though I have the set up for industrial bottles if I could afford some ;0). But I'll try that using the trigger with power off, cheers. It is out side ish in that I'm welding inside the...

Hi I'm new to welding although done my arches and sills last year and brought the mig out again this year to do boot and arches.anyhoo, fitted a new co2 / Argon mix bottle but looking at the welds it's as though the gas isn't getting through to the weld as very porous and spattery. It's a new...

I thought. My bottom bearing had gone but turns out it was the top and needed new or more shims also but they usually come with the bearing kit. I remember somewhere stating if the play is at the bottom of the swivel it's the top bearing and vice versa. But can't remember why? But it rang true...

I have the same , well on the gas it steers right off it it steers left, I replaced the radius arm bushes but still the same. Think I might need cranked radius arms as have 2 inch lift So don't know if that caused it or just made it more noticeable. But can live with it just now. The 2 inch...

Recommend YRM also, got them through e bay , for front inner arches would use without delay anytime

And here side on , it sits up against spare wheel cover which helps support it but is in no way hampered by it.

Cheers Bigeee , I'm all sorted I got one and a light board all for t he princely some of £30 knocked down from £45 I'll up load if I can get this dman phone to work. But it has answered my original question yes they do fit , it comes straight up off the tow ball and dosen't...
