Hi All,
I'm having a bit of an issue trying to put together the front suspension on my 1977 Clubby. When fitting the upper arms into the subframe, it is a really tight squeeze to get in. When I eventually get it in, the rubber seal is crushed.
Here is the 'rear':
And the front:
Note that the rubber seal is crushed and out of shape.
Looking at this last image, I fitted it without the rubber seal at the front and you can see the space left - not a lot. I've rested the seal on top just to demonstrate the difference.
Have I got this all wrong? Does the seal fit another way? Maybe it is supposed to sit in the hole in the subframe?
Thanks for any guidance that you can offer. I had similar at the back of the car when doing the radius arms - the inboard seal got squashed.
Cheers,
Stu
