+2S Rear Suspension and Drive Rebuild

[Breezehill]

Hi,
Now we have the seasonal festivities out of the way it’s time to get on and get the rear drive and suspension finished. However all the photos I took before removing the parts have gone missing which using the manual has resolved apart from one.

The thin headed bolts on the rear wishbone to hub, should these have washers under the heads shown in the photo

Hi there

I wouldn't say that a washer is needed under the head of the bolt but you do need one between the wishbone bush and hub carrier or the bush steel inner will dig into the aluminium. A washer is also needed under the nut of course

Regards
Andy

Thanks Andy, did remember the washers between hub carrier and wishbone but just wasn’t sure about under the bolt head. Thanks for the clarification I had a few washers spare so wasn’t sure.
