The car is now up on stands and the rear stripped out I had forgotten quite how rusty things had become.


Rear subframe, lower and upper arms and trailing arms removed

I also got the springs and rear ARB back from the powder coaters. Front ARB will have to go by its self as I had not taken it off the car


Original before going away. These are the lowering springs qhich were on the ZT I broke a couple of years ago.

And the nicely powder coated units after a good sandblast. I chose red.

Finally the last few bits arrived that I needed after stripping off the original suspension:-


Rear hub ( I replaced one when i did the brakes a couple of years ago.)
Both rear ABS sensors. I went for OEM from MAtt (what a good price)
New rear handbrake cables (Pagid)

With all the parts ready to fit I have dropped the fuel tank and have a bit of remedial work to do on the underside of the car which I will underseal for longevity (photos to follow).


Starting to feellike I am making progress on the rear.
