Needing some help with my LN130. I've just noticed that my offside front wheel is leaning out, at the bottom, and I've noticed the Upper Arm Shaft is no longer lying parallel on top the chassis - it's inclined.
Below is a diagram of the Upper arm Shaft I'm talking about:-
And below is my rough attempt at explaining how it's leaning. The diagrams show cross sections through the chassis where the upper suspension arms are fitted:-
The upper diagram is how I believe it should be (looking at the other side of the truck) and the lower one is how it looked today. Unfortunately, the front shock absorber bracket (welded onto the chassis and light grey in diagrams) is in the way so I can't see what is broken, missing or whatever. I'm trying to find out what attachment there should be in the area I've marked by the blue circle.
Does anyone know if the Upper Arm Shaft mounting bracket should be welded to the chassis or welded to the shocker bracket, or are there brackets/bolts involved or whatever?
Has anyone had this problem and offer a solution?
Many thanks
