Guys, Having alot of trouble with the handbrake not releasing on one side. I've had brand new handbrake cables, but it's definetly related to the handbrake mechanism on the N/S rear caliper which is not releasing. I've got a seal kit, with the replacement dust cover, and I've read about...

Has anyone fit the Powerflex bushes before? they are too short, what are you supposed to put in to take up the space?

Simply, can I get a bottom ball joint seperate from the arm? I've got powerflex front and rear bushes in the arm, so I don't really want to be buying a new arm. Help! I can't find them anywhere. . .

Currently dropped the subframe from the car, to investigate the "pulling to the left" issue. Just thought I'd post and see if anyone has any tips or similar experience before I go ahead and refit it. I can see it has locating holes at the back so struggling to work out how people are...
