Hi cmohr

Did you need to remove the LCA ball-joint to let the LCA droop down more so as the clevis fork can be pushed out of the way?
Is that the bottom of the clevis fork in your pic?

Dropped the upper so everything could swing down. Car was up on jacks, had a jack under the lower arm so I could drop it down after removing the clevis bolt.

Side benefit of new bushes is that i regained 10-15mm lift. KJ felt heaps better afterwards.
I finally got my clevis bracket "fork" bushes replaced yesterday and after doing some measuring I now have at least "15mm" more front ground clearance
The front end feels much better!
The guys at Ken Muston in Shepparton did the job... VERY HAPPY

Nice one Happy...

Yes, It does certainty help doesnt it. All the forces from the road are exerted through that bush to the coil and damper, its no wonder they wear out.

I'm about to do B2 soon.

Thats odd, maybe contact Nick at Albion and see if he can do better. I only paid 99.00 when I got mine.
