ive realised i dont have a build threat on here! im not going to write one right now but heres the latest work to my azu...

[quote author=rebel2cv board=readersrides thread=97417 post=1557846 time=1333488588]Right, been having fun today. My steering rack has had an inch of play at the wheel for a while, so as the mot is due in a couple of months I thought best to get it sorted, so popped to my mates for an extra pair of hands.

This is when I turned up..

Bonnet and wings off-

Engine out-

Gearbox out-

Swing arms and rack out-

As I'd taken all the front suspension off I thought it would be a good idea to fit some swing arms from a later 2cv with telescopic shocks, rather than the tiny ones mounted on the hub of the wheel then I thought why not fit up rated springs I'd bought a year ago?

Old spring can gone-

New going in-

So.. That's replacement rack (untested), two mossy green front swing arms from a scrap chassis in my mates yard and one side of suspension changed.. I didn't realise I was going to loose so much ride height with these new coils...

And this is how it's sitting tonight, just a tad on the curse word!
