Thanks for the replies -
Matt_H. No play in kingpins, definitely track rod on just the nearside. Good to know it comes out either side. I've got a modecum of movement in one direction.
I have had a good look at the fastenings and spring leaves and axle beam but cannot see damage or wrongly located components but a more experienced eye may do so?
Peter B. I am definitely working on the track rod and have removed the cotter with no issues but was perplexed as to whether the pin was tapered or not. As you say I could be reduced to tears if brute force and ignorance are employed hence I am using a g-cramp to apply pressure and I've got a modecum of movement now so hopefully it will come out soon.
Mark R. A tired spring was in my mind until some of the other posts. Is this something you have encountered ? If so did you get you springs reset or replaced ?
Derek S and Reckless. That kind of fits with how it feels. If I physically push the car straight it will return to the left but finds a different position each time. I only have one book for reference by a man called Nicholson who say steer clear of the rear damper. Can you describe how to reset the dampers correctly?
Again thank you everyone for your help so far. Brilliant
cheers
Dave
