well i had another go at getting some work done today with varied sucess
ive finished dual batt setup after installing abr sidewinder battery monitor
i then moved on to fitting efs lift kit i got from zordo
fitting front shocks required minimul grinding to uca's
a note on original front shocks
car is 14 mths old with 20140 ks
original front shocks are still on shed floor compressed for 7 hrs now and havent rebound
so we moved onto fitting efs torsion bars
easy enough ??
thats where it all went pear shaped, the same time as andrew turned up (blacknav)
after rolling back and forth and rechecking and adjusting height we thought all was good and fitted rear shocks (springs and shackles being fitted next week)
time to go for a gentle drive around block to settle everything
we got 1/2 way round block and i started gently turning left,right
BANG went the front right and dropped all the way to bumpstop
it turns out that when d/side t/bar cam adjuster was refitted it didnt sit correctly in chassis and popped out wrecking the spline on adjuster, t/bar is fine
hmm
hope central coast 4wd wreckers are open tomorrow

thismorning i fitted rear springs and shackles
i had to grind the large steel tube off from the front spring mount to get springs in, they are only fitted to later models according to zordo
i will dress up and refitt after wheel align
i am very happy with the improvment

so off i went for a wheel alignment at my local g**dy**r store
i explained to him over phone 2 days ago and also when i arrived a lift had been fitted and it will need more than just a std wheel align
no worries he sais,we can handle that, we do em all the time
lets book it in at 2pm should give us plenty of time to sort it out
pfffft (venting again )
his so called expert suspension guy put it on hoist
hmm
gees mate this things way out
yeah its just had a lift kit installed and we might need to readjust spline on passenger side t/bar as ime out of adjustment
something inside him turned off instantly(limp mode i think)
seems they werent up to the challenge
or didnt want my money
i readjusted spline my self and will try again tomorrow for a wheel alignment somewhere else

Hey Ian, nice work dude.
If your willing to take a trip to Maitland.
Oneil's are the only ones to get mine to steer straight.
