Not sure if I can help you here, as I've never rebuilt that area of the
=
car, but I have a suggestion. Of course, you should double-check this =
with someone who's done it, first...
If you decide to take it apart, you could put a jack-stand on the O =
shaped part of the opposing swing arm, and another on the front =
cross-member (the big, burley section in front of the sump), on the side =
nearest to where you're working. Don't ever (unless it's an absolute =
emergency, and probably not even then) support the car on a castle rail, =
even at the jacking point. Not only is this not terribly stable, but it =
can very easily distort =3D big $ to repair.

Argh. Having no luck. I can't get the spray to get in where it
matters. Ungh.
I'm not sure I am equipped to take the suspension apart, I
had a go at one of the bolts and it mocked me. As well, I'm
not sure how I can support the car if I take that whole
quarter apart. Sigh.
This one may have me licked.
