Well, went too fast through some ruts. Got the front wheels airborne and stripped the splines out of the drivers side torsion bar mount. Now this has happened to me a few times before and I can usually got one at a Wreckers for 20 - 30 bucks. limped 40km home only to find that I have sheared 2 bolts off my from left axle.Im guessing either the bolts were loose, I sheared them off when I went through the ruts or the drive home with the Nav on a weird angle stuffed them.

Pics didn't work mate but sounds like an interesting trip.
Yeah I dunno why they aint working hopefully I can have the torsion bar fixed tomoz it should only take 30 mins once I have the part. The stub axle might have to wait till the weekend Im sure i can drive it around with 4 bolts.

What torsion bars you got Dilmah? I think it may be poorly fitting splines or too stiff a torsion bar that causes the adjuster to strip.
soo i finally got around to fixing he stub axle, ended up replacing the stub axle, lower control arm cos i had to cut the lower ball joint out and it comes as a complete part. also had to replace the steering arm cos it was bent swell. cost $550 for parts and a few cartoons of beer for mate labour. was a pain in the arse to do but i learnt so much. was worth the hassle in the end!
