Steering Drop Arm kit
Haynes and others suggest that replacing the drop arm ball joint is a job for the dealer. Is it really so difficult? Is the spring of such a high tension that it will explode as soon as you release the circlip?
Wondered about disconnecting the steering arm, lowering the vehicle so that the underside of the joint came down to just rest on a block and a suitable socket, removing the circip and then jacking the vehicle off the top of it. Where is the flaw in the cunning plan? Dealer will charge £50 per hour so I'd prefer to remain out of their clutches!
