very nice.
about the bushes, make sure you get them perfect, i had to re do mine as the noise they made was bad, and no suspension movement.

What did you torque the bolts up to? I did mine up to 90 NM and i couldn't move the suspension at all, this was without the spring fitted. Was
going to ring MK about this tomorrow. How can you get the bushes wrong?

The bushes should rotate around the crush tube,fill the gap between the bushes with silicon or white grease before you push in the crush tube, the
crush tube should be around 1/2 to 1mm longer than the bushes.
Also check that the wishbones fit easily into the brackets without the crush tubes fitted, they should not be a tight fit.

Thats how i thought it should be but there is no way the tubes will rotate in the bushes. I greased them before they went in but they are way too
tight. The tubes do sick out from the bushes by a mm or two though.

They will once you tighten the bolt (if the clearances are sufficient).. Something I need to re-visit on mine as it's a but squeky in use (might
be binding a bit and hence wishbones/bushes tubes adjusted to suite).. If you let them rotate on the bolt you will have a big problem that the
bolts/holes will ware though in use..

I've readjusted the crush tubes so they are perfect and now it moves but it's still tight and very creaky. Going to take them out again
tomorrow and try silicon grease on the tubes.
