It looks as though (like the off-side) it would benefit with a shim washer either between the axle lugs and the bush(es) or between the bushes and the spring eye - as suggested by Alan Fairless last time. That will have to wait for another day/week .......
My question relates to the shock-absorber/damper. The recommendation seems to be to use a spring balance and a figure between 15 - 20 lbs. Some like more.
Because the car is on the ground and not above my head I found it impossible to get enough downward pull, especially as my strength is not what it once was!! The dampers are now attached - Can anyone suggest a rule of thumb, like how many (if any) threads should be seen on the main damper bolt when the nut and lock nut have been tightened down? Even if I don't get the damping right at first I want it to be fairly consistent side to side.
Any thoughts and advice welcome.
