Keeper96 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 You's sure? Near side and its the same way it came out? I'll have a try the other way in the morning though Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Well, put it this way, you can stop the joint rotating on the taper when undoing, by putting a bottle jack under the draglink, normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Also, I presume you have moved the clamp to the end of the rod and re-tightened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeper96 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Yeah, moved the clamp to the end and re tightened, I'll stick it in the other way round in the morning and see if it makes a difference Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Yep Western , that's correct , I suggest the rubber boot is just pushed up the ball pin . If it seated correctly and tightened up then all should be good . cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
