Deflexed the rear of the S1 over the winter, feels much tighter now. No complaints, so far so good.

Will be doing the front end next winter.

I don't know how much.

I had problems with the front ARB bushes, the hole the ARB passes though kept getting bigger and causing the ARB to move within the bush.

Also the rear Track Rod Arm bushes where they pass through the lower part of the hub kept popping out.

After fitting the new bushes they have been fine.
