I believe that I still have the OEM bits in the old mans shed.
Will see if they can be dug up and if so, will book the car in for a visit.

The nuts haven't been touched in the better part of 3 years now, will see if I can get under and inspect for tightness, otherwise I'll just get Doug to check it out when we look at the bump steer.
Thanks guys!
