Wishing for an easy wishbone


Chance would be a fine thing.
Frustrating times. Spent an hour trying to get one wishbone pivot arm through the carrier, various washers seals rings and what have you.
Downed tools with one thrust washer to go which seemed patently not to fit. Double checked the instructions to see if it should be a deliberate omission. The picture says yes but other evidence definitely no.
A call to Trigger at AK revealed definitely all parts needed from original Jag config and just to keep trying wiggling Etc as it's supposed to be a tight fit.


Eventually at the expense of one pivot arm (stripped thread) I have one side done... I forgot to photo before trial fitting the hub and drive shaft too so here's photos of the whole thing.




I hope the other side is a bit easier.

First pass on camber shows about 1 1/2 degrees so need some more shims for this side. Not ordering anymore until I check the other side too.
