New Drop Links and Steering Ball Joints fitted without too much fuss.

Just need to make sure the rear compensator arm bolts can be loosened before I take it to get the tracking done , which hasn't been done for at least 20 years :laughing2

Next job is to replace the front roll bar rubbers with some poly bushes.

Just waiting for the penetrating oil to do its work on the bolts, which seem to be a bit tighter than the quoted 15Nm.
