Hi, Had the joy of changing upper balljoint, bearings and dust-plates behind brake-discs on both sides at the front. Bearings got shot during our summervacation ( http://www.zorck.dk/2009 ) Upper balljoint, passengerside was changed on the morning before we drove on hollyday -so I thought I'd better take the the other side as preventive maintenance :-) Dust-plates also needed replacement, so while I was at it - new dustplates were in for install. But - when did Schultz ever decide to use normal screws instead of bolts or unbraco for mounting the dustplates? Sigh - I ended up doing the old "weld a nut on top of the screw" - andit works. Well, for me it was first time ever, so I took some time working with it - but it worked for me:-) http://www.zorck.dk/t3/nuts.jpg Now, projects on the todo: * Change waterpump * Change gasket on exhaust-flange, cylinder 4 * Align frontwheels - and rearwheels * Change exhaust But then (knock on wood) - I should be on top of things for the next 30.000 km :-) Happy driving Jens Jakob
