Well I'm glad to know that I'm not alone on this one. I'm pretty sure the
car will fail the MOT in January on this "little difficulty". The handling
seems OK at the moment. I'm not chucking it around that much now that I know
what the underside of the box section looks like, of course. The steering
has a bit of play anyway at the moment, so it's hard to tell exactly.
I think I will get it welded back together, if only to stop water getting in
the box section and rusting it out. It would be nice to get my steering sorted
too. The only reason I discovered this problem was that I bought some new
antiroll bar bushes a while ago when I put new springs on the back, thinking
that I might as well replace the bushes on the front at the same time.
Oh well, I'll have to look for a friendly welder somewhere in London, could be
tricky. Or maybe I should just learn to weld myself - an ideal opportunity ?
Andy
