Thanks so much for this. My 97 is dragging the left rear so I will have to give this a go when I get back home to the car. Notified about your page from the Aussie P38 Facebook site. What size dowell did you use to do this. Looks like a trip to Bunnings coming up!!
Dowell is 20mm. I think a 25mm will also fit inside bumpstop. The 20mm was cheap as I just used a broomstick handle! They seem to hold up ok and dont break.
Do you rate this vehicle? They used to be so common here in London, you never see one now, the cheapest one I ever brought was £500 for a 4.6HSE You would struggle to find one now
Ive spent a lot of money and time on parts. Ive had mine for 13years. theres a lot or brittle plastics in my 99 hse. I think they are not built very well with the cosmetics. Its a strong chassis and goes anywhere but a lot can go wrong. Ive done new head gaskets, fuel pump, and the lower ball joints and all airbags. Also had to replace the expenaive sabco brake bulb and sort out the tc issues electrically by cleaning wvery connector in the wiring system as a lot of them corrode. But if you pull all electrics connectors and clean them, a lot of things start to work again. Most need a new fusebox too which are cheap enough. Mine is very reliable now. Ive done a lot to fix it though. My BMW from.same era is a much better built car ane more reliable, plastics have rubber in them and dont break so easily, and the motors are more advanced. The P38 though, is good on tyres and brakes, they last forever. If i had a choice i might lean toward an L322 Range rover with the 4.4 bmw engine because i know how good they are from my 740il and its seemingly built stronger than the P38 (L322).
