Getting it off is the easy part Swapping bushes and remembering to put the springs in before bolting on the shocks is the hard part

Called 4 times now, few times from the office land line and they either hang up straight away or leave to answer phone. just wonder who it is
My dad does this  He rings and I just miss it, then two seconds later I'm calling him back and he doesn't answer. PROPERLY annoying.

What you studying? 
Just remembered: Related to Tom's ARB thing, we discovered that the garage that fitted my rear axle took the ARB off of it Why would they do that? I'm taking the cheque down tonight anyway so was going to ask but maybe someone on here will have an explenation or an idea.

The Spax one was alright because it was in the water for half an hour before my mate turned up, the GM ones were worse
Didn't have much choice at the end of the day

Only for the front.
My rear ones fell out, no shooting anyone in the face or anything
That reminds me, if I loosen off the clamp holding the middle silencer on, can I rotate it a bit? The ends of the bolts keep scraping speed bumps
