Hi guys i have to own up to what could have been a very serious oversight on my part. In my haste to rebuild the chassis/wishbones i left the 2no rear adjusters as they were so to speak, thinking i have not disturbed them so in my logic they should be fine. I then realised i want to get a full geo set up done when the rebuild is finished! What if all is not fine. What if they have to be adjusted. .What if the adjusters are seized! Photo 1 shows how they were till earlier today. I removed both rear wishbones and YES they were seized solid. I could not remove the threaded section out of the wishbone with a spanner, so decided to drill a hole big enough to fit a round steel bar into and after plenty of heat with the blowtorch,out they came. Its approx £20 for 2 new adjusters and lock nuts so no problems now for the geo set up. Just need to repaint 2 wishbones
