So I was doing a bit of tidying up, tweaking and generally tw@tting about with the zed today.

I've been experiencing a metal-on-metal clank from the front end recently and presumed it was a broken spring. (V familiar with the sound of broken springs :roll: ). However, on further inspection it's not the springs.

Strongest suspicion is the arb bushes but after taking both front wheels off more of the bushes are looking prettty tired.

Thoughts:

Also give the nuts on the strengthening bars under the bonnet a pull down, did mine and no more low speed or speed bump clunks. Your drop links are shot Chris. Needs a bit of a refresh on the rest of the bushes :)

But please, please use a torque wrench on these, else you'll be looking at sheared studs on the towers to replace...
