Hello Guys, I always thought that the spring was there to protect the ball joints from road shock, accordingly I have always put in just enough packing washers until you just have to put pressure on the end cap to get the fixing bolt in, this then gives movement (and steering wheel play unfortunately) in the joint, which the M.O.T. man always makes a fuss of. I agree with Barry though, that the spring in the "A" frame does nothing, I use an ordinary bolt slackened back a half turn and split pined. Regards Ian
