There are indeed always new models but as you've learnt to your cost ...upgrading or part exchanging can prove very expensive  whistle:

It is dry...

I had to dismantle the suspension to get the drive shafts out...

I put it all back together loosely and put the wheels back on so I could push it in the garage under the winch... But I didn't connect the tie-bars to the lower wishbones...

They are obviously quite important to the steering geometry....  lol:

Oh and I had the shockers off too which didn't help...  noooo:
