IPD continue to leach on my visa card
Order placed for a new O2 sensor and since the postage is already happening, poly bushes and new end links for the front anti-sway bar.
Hopefully that will address his current greed and "tea clipper" approach to cornering. For those keeping score, $115 USD all up. Given the O2 sensor and end links are upward of $80NZD EACH here, I'm satisfied 106719 Oxygen Sensor - Universal 3 Wire $48.95 110732 Front Sway Bar End Link 2 $23.90 106891 HD Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit - Turbo Models $34.95 |

Fast women usually take the car with them when they leave - and the house!
Just like hurricanes, perhaps that's why hurricanes are named after women..............

Well THAT was worth it!
Fitted all the new sway bar parts today. The kit comes with sway bar mounting brackets and urethane bushes PLUS urethane bushes for the drop links. The new drop links were just rubber-bushed and tbh the old links were ok except for the bushes on the sway bar end. I put the new drop links on anyway with the urethane bushes in them. Easy fitting job. You only need 14, 15 and 17mm spanners and sockets - 1/2 inch drive gear is a must - the fixings were VERY solid and took some releasing. Would have been nice to have a 17mm racheting ring spanner for the drop link bolts but otherwise not hard. 1/2 hour job. $60 USD all up in parts, and about $10USd in freight. Moomin likes it. A small "clunk" on cornering is gone (it was the old bushings taking up I suspect) and body roll is reduced. Still not brilliant with early and soft suspension movement but thats a result of elderly shocks that are essentially the same as a bike pump these days. Next suspension job is the lowering and when all that stuff is out I'll do the shocks and the rest of the bushings at the same time. |

New Lambda sensor fitted.
What a pig of a position - I bought an offset removal tool to get to it but could only get slightly less that 60 degrees of rotation and the tool was six-point, not 12. Fortunately, the thread "cracked" at the first 45 degrees and I could unscrew it by hand. The rest went pretty straightforward. Off for a road test now! |

Was that the lambda on a turbo downpipe? If so its a pain to get at.
