Many thanks.
I noticed you mention that side to side play is very bad.. that's what I have now.
No up & down play but very slight side to side in the ball joint.
Either-way they're getting changed.
Just taking a break for a few days as I have been spanner'ing hard on one of my bikes the last week or so (head gasket on a v-twin) and I'm waiting for my Ex to bring back my only axle stand tall enough for the van. When not needed here it's used as a hoof stand for horse hoof filing.
So it appears that after our separation at Xmas we seem to now have joint custody over a single axle stand... life is funny really..Last edited by DubDick; 21 September 2021, 07:54 PM.1999 2.5 TDI
