Front suspension re-assembly help or pics

Post by paulsx »

Hi all,

Got my front suspension bits back front plating but now I've come to reassemble it I am not sure where some of it goes.

Has anyone got a good pic of the steering arm to upright position and does the track rod come up from below or from above?

You can get good info from the parts diagrams available through the forum. Shows the build up of most parts.
