Early D8 top links and drop links

Post by gumby6371 »

I fitted new pads, discs and shoes over the weekend, while I was fitting a new cylinder to the right rear (I think I had more brake fluid in the drum than in the rest of the car!!) I had a good look at the rear links.
No knocking at the moment but wanted to check out the awkwardness rating of changing them.
Having read about marking things up to avoid tracking issues on the rear wheels I carefully examined everything and for the life of me I couldn't see anywhere that could be adjusted, did early D8's have a different rear suspension set up?

Thanks Lozz, I was looking for some sort of track rod end style affair, it all makes sense now.
