Bongo Fury

Inner trackrod joints have arrived in the post. Add that to my list of things to do before baby arrives.

On closer inspection, I don't actually think the inner track rods are the problem.

I've gone back round all other front-end nuts and bolts (which I should have done first, anyway ). The upper nyloc nut on the off-side drop link snugged up a bit so I'm assuming that the bolt would have been able to jiggle a little in its hole under road stress.

Tut, tut.

Matt, it looks like you are going to have some spares to flog to Ady.

Hi,it would be worthwhile lubricating the universal joints (2)on the steering shaft.

Will do, easy access.

Edit: no more knock, anyhow. I have no doubt it was the loose droplink nut that was causing the noise.

A truly inspirational thread Matt. To go from first oil change to all of this in a year is amazing. I hope your Bongo returns to full health very soon.
