 In the worst case the mount can corrode through and rip away from the axle, this is becoming increasingly common as Jimnys get older.

 I had to measure up to make the washers and the picture below shows the finished item and the template I sent to my friendly engineer to make them with. Yes, the template is simply a 2p coin and 2 x 5p coins – they were the correct dimensions for what I needed with a 12mm hole in the middle.

 == Wear repair ==
 If the holes have worn oval then a welded repair can be carried out by creating some form of repair piece. You could weld strengthening over the hole or, as I do here, create a washer to fix the hole itself. The internet shows a simple steel washer welded over the hole or the creation of a "top hat washer"
