After my "slight mishap" on Wednesday at Mallory park I've managed to get the 2 up on stilts to assess the damage. Pictures are below.

I think I need:

Front arms: are something like these still recommended? eBay Yaris arms

Drop links


And I think that's it? Anything I'm missing?

Those will do the job. 

While you've got them out, take the chance to clean, de-rust, treat and paint the inner mounting brackets.  That front subframe needs a bit of TLC before it's too far gone.

A trick with the vertical bolt, is to undo it a bit at a time, knocking the a-arm back up the bolt as you go.  Plenty of Plus-Gas !!

Well done, by the way.  It shows you were trying.

Thank you @Carolyn - I've treated the sub frame last year but the winter hasn't been kind it seems. I'll get some rust converter ordered up, I've already got the other bits.

And yes, I was trying a bit too hard!

I meant knocking the A-arm up not the sub-frame. (God knows what I was thinking when I wrote that.)
