Dis-location cones! or Jubilee Clips?
TUFFTEE:
Thanks for your Excellent 2 pence worth of invaluable information Datalas!
And i will check the Spring retainers First! Thanks!
beast5680:
where did you pop the spring out then nev? on that run down the chalk gulley?
TUFFTEE:
Yes Neal! I heard a loud bang and spent the next few miles wondering what it was? When we stopped at the top where the cricket match was! i went looking and found out why! It is sort of half out and half in! I'll Sort it out tomorrow afternoon! But it was a great day in my books!!! :D

What people are saying is true. I ran with jubilee clips on the 90 but have now had cones fitted.
Bought D44 cones and retainers and would say that you need to do both.
When fitting the cones took off the old retainer clips and looked more like after 8 mints due to rot etc than clips
Jubilee clips are fine but think someone mentioned exhaust brackets - if you cant aford cones go with these
:wink:

Based on my recent experience, I'd agree that if you fix the spring to the top mount you risk breaking the retaining plate at the axle mount. If this happens you may find, as I did, that the spring parts company with the car in a very attention-getting way!
I've just fitted a set of cones and heavy-duty retaining plates from Paddocks which I recommend as (apparently) good quality and comparatively cheap.
Phil.
