I'm in the process of replacing my springs and shackles, and I've hit a snag on the RHD drivers side front. The power steering box protrudes over the frame mount for the shackle, making it seemingly impossible to fit a poly-bush.
The bushings I removed were OEM rubber ones, and pretty much crumbled as I pulled them out so were not an issue.
This appears to be a RHD specific fitment issue, as from just a cursor read of the FSM and various internet sources, I got no hits for this issue. I wanted to reach out to any other RHD owners and ask what they did? I'm loathe to remove the steering box as it's a lump of rust and I think I might snap some bolts doing so.
I'm thinking I may just have to fit rubber bushes here as they should deform enough squeeze in, but I wanted to see if another owner had hit this issue and had some wisdom to share Thanks!
