High Biting Point on Clutch

[gazareth]

taking the strut of to change the clutch wtf! jeez I don't even take the wheels of. I just tie the drivers side shaft up to exhaust manifold and put steering on left hand lock and jack front up a little and passenger side shaft can just be manouvered out. you could use tipex to mark balljoint before undoing 3 bolts so tracking wont be affected. btw not sure what happened to my last post above. still trying to figure things out.

I take the wheel off as I don't have ramp and have to use stands and jacks, I think your point about marking the joint is it in a nutshell.
If the joint is good then this works, if its sloppy then its fifty fifty but then you should change it anyway

totally agree. any play in a balljoint no matter how slight is fit for the bin. good practice to check tracking after changing anything on the suspension I reckon.
