Wow some good work going on there!
Can you elaborate on the steering lubrication, I'd like to do it to my car.

Yeah no probs, if you search for sticky steering on here there is a method of drilling in to the upper column and injecting grease. Also took the gaiters off the rack itself and re greased. The lube that was in there had dried up the steering feels much smoother now and haven't had anymore issues since

The meyle hd are fine, had them on mine for about 11 months now, but i just replaced the bushes as the balljoints were fine. Cost was only about £20 plus a couple of hours.groovy_hippy wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2017 4:50 pm What are the Meyle HD lower arms like?

I didnt use the bushes I put powerflex in, but the lower arms are really nice quality and seem better built than the originals,
