is that an exhaust clamp on your spring?

thermidorthelobster:
My helpful local garage once thoughtfully tightened up the bolts when they did some work on the hub  :twisted:  Drove off up the road and nearly ripped the lugs off the tyre when I turned right.  If they don't know what it is, they should leave it alone!

Mark_Solesbury:
Dave -

Yeah looks like it.

Fitted like a pro bodge by the previous owner i would imagine!

ive only had it for 6 years!

is it to stop the spring dislocating under articulation? I know some defender owners clamp the top of spring with jubilee clips.

jimthelandyman:
add some lube to your stop locks before attempting because mine snapped off on one side the other day.
