Youe right there.I was swapping my wheels from front to rear.I gave the rear wheels a shake from side to side.My rear beam bushes are worn.I had a noise on my steering.My steering rack bushes are worn.The rack moves from side to side.

Then there is my rusty arches.... aaaaahhhhhhhh


fookin cars.

Got the hoses sorted and fitted up, running along the inner chassis leg away from everything that they could obstruct. On a later date I'll modify old dust guards to bolt to the hub with a port for the hose to jubilee onto, that should make the most out of this setup.

No offence, but why are you being so rude about this????

Alan has asked for help to get to the bottom of this and from what I read before it was removed, he was giving good complements about your company......correct? You're making out he's slating you, which he isn't.

You need to contact a moderator. My thread was cleaned up because it's unfair for the company to be involved if they trully had no involvement in the work that was carried out. So stick to thread boys please and let me deal with this

Lol there only 1 company called gears in southport Al show the fella your invoice mate, obviously you must of dealt with his dad as there's only 2 people that work there so it can't be hard to find out who checked it as the younger fella is on here and he knows it weren't him so must of been his dad you dealt with, you wouldn't of accidentally walked into another firm located in the same place as gears who also happen to do transmission surely

MK3 Supra Turbo 3.73.1 diff. Prepped and painted, ready for Mark's kit to arrive so I can fit it. Good timing too, a lot of play in my standard 7.5

How clean did you get it before paint mate, I've spent ages trying to clean the rusty section on mine, looks like i'm gonna have to sand blast it before paint.

@ Ginge

As clean as I could with different size wire brush bits on the drill and angle grinder and threw shit loads of hammerite acid over it before paint. Not really fussed if it's not completely immaculate, it's not a complete bufty car

@ John

Held onto the pinion flange and turned one of the joints over an inch and a half by hand with nice grinding noises, never recalled being able to do that before
