Rear suspension rebuild and paint

[Yatesy350i]

Well I've just about finished stripping down the rear end suspension parts. Ready to start cleaning and painting everything over the next week or so.

I had to cut a couple of the A frame bolts out as the had fused into the bush steel inserts. Also had a bent bolt on the off side hub carrier/shock mount.

Anyone got any idea where to get replacements from please?

At advice regarding setting about the rear brake setup would also be appreciated. Pads look a little low and it's sounds like they are slightly binding? Will the whole lot drop out from underneath with the diff in one go?

Cheers Karl.

Certainly will, but you'll probably find more rusted bolts along the way...

Think Richard Thorpe (RT) does a nut and bolt set for the wedge suspension and should be able to help.

You were right. It's all on the floor now. Plenty of rusty bolts but the chassis is really good same as the front just some minor surface flaking. I suspect it will be a bit of a mission to get the diff and brake assembly back in though. Managed to snap a 3/8 drive extension bar clean I half as well. That's a first for me.
