Wonkey Rear End? Radius Arm Bushes!

Noticed when cornering that the rear left wheel was rubbing on the damper.  The Common worn radius arm.




The radium arm bearing shaft was badly worn.  Recondition time.


Leaving the wheel arch pretty empty.
Replaced the original rear brake hose while I was at it.  (Note: Next time do this after fitting the radius arm as it's not easy to clamp the new hose.  Hence lots of fluid on the floor)
Then Bolted the rear brake hub back on with new bolts.  Radius arm put in to place and bolted in with new bolts.
Connected the Brake line and handbrake cable. Bolted shock back in to place and filled the radius arm with grease.
Brakes set up and bled before finally putting the wheel back on.  Job done.
