Mines not lifted, so i don't think so. Just down to age and rust!!!!

davidlandy:
sometimes the cause of that can be that the axle bracket can hit the raduis arm under full movement.  I think that some axles have a little cut out on them to allow more movement.

looks like a nasty thing to happen on the road - glad it didnt send you out of control

Disco_Stu:
Well, the story so far :)

Got an axle from a 200Tdi, have a to do quite a bit of messing around to get it to go with 300 componets like prop, mud sheilds and brake caliper bolts but its finally ready to go back on the truck.

Had to change a wheel bearing but had a spare so lucky there. I've cut the mudsheild brackets of the axle to fit the 300 shields, totally different and the originals were goosed. Swapped a break pipe and wire brushed it clean then gone a bit daft with yellow hammerite. Its cool :)

I've got deflex bushes and extended brake hoses arriving tomorrow so with a bit of luck and no more bloody problems I might be on the road on saturday. ;)

Ps. Just looked at the pictures and i didnt mean to leave the manual there, it was just a dry spot. Honest.  I did this without looking.

Disco_Stu:
Hi all. Juist a quick update on the update!

In my previous post I said I hoped to be on the road by the weekend, well, that didnt happen.
It wasnt a difficult bush or an impossible top link that put the kibosh on my plans tho...

It was this little princess, arriving at 4.30pm today after 30 hrs hard graft by the missus. Two weeks early, Daisy, for tis her name, weighed in at a healthy 7lb and is quite possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Stu.
