Found a Jimny that I had misplaced. :laugh:
Got buried in a load of tents when I opened the back door!! :ohmy:

Just thread counting .. my Jimny is ONLY for off-roading so each trip the wheels get bashed, so pretty pointless getting it tracked!

:woohoo: result, how bad were they, I've got one that's split


Threy were dire , on last trip out a farm worker told me he could see my front wheels wobbling (he thought my wheels nuts were loose)... I thought the wheel bearings had gone (nope) so looked at all Track-rod ends and OMG were they all sloppy!!

Brakes were feeling a bit spongy so had a good root around. Front driver side caliper sliders are very stiff, one of them needing considerable force to move, so I have treated myself to a brand new one :)

Also re-bled the brakes, this time plucking up the courage to undo the rear load valve bleed nipple (have always feared snapping it off as its a bit corroded) and it undid very slowly :)

Had the bright idea of putting the rear of the J up on ramps to bleed the rear wheels and the load valve, guessing that any air will rise to the highest point. Indeed, my brakes have never felt better so I think there has been a small pocket of air moving around the system that's finally been expelled. With a new caliper, they should be even better B)

After the issues with 4WD earlier in the week I decided that after work today, I'd go test it on a green lane not far from where I was working.
