As even without the retaining clip these rods take quite alot of pressure to pop off Thanks Kev - how would I check the spring clip inside the rod? So there's a clip inside & outside? It is very loose so probably! I'm planning to buy a load of small spring clips from motor factor then dropping in garage this morning. D'you reckon they'll understand? Thanks Niall - I've have grabbed this off you yday but reckon I may need more than one & hopefully the clips I get today will sort it. |

Take the rod off and have a look. Could be its stuck slightly, so not springing back once ball is in the cup. ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |
