the amount of rust on the front axle of these vehicles is quite impressive, given the condition of the rest of the vehicle.

[@Iveavan]

To be fair, I've done the rest of the vehicle, I couldn't do much to the subframe in situ, so this gave an opportunity to give it a good overall. 👌👍.

Cheers matey 😉👌👍. Yes your right! 😅, I did soak everything in WD40 for a week and loosened each bolt before filming so I had no drama's(that kinda didn't happen the way I wanted 😂) But yes, in reality! They will be some bolts that will be "an absolute bitch to undo" definitely! 😉👌👍👍👍.

Great job Mark I did say you would have some fun doing the front , I did mine about 4 years ago when the van was a works van .hope your head is feeling better, and your subframe was ok after a bit of welding,Im looking forward to the next video , it’s hard work on your own but when you look at the prices a garage would charge to do it ,it’s all worth it in then end even the headache, see you had the weather,funny how you start a job like that it always seems to pissdown .

[@Iveavan]

Hey up Thomas 😊👍, ahhh this is a few weeks old now mate (when the weather was almost tropical for February) I've been workshop bound for the past couple of weeks doing other stuff. Not to bad of a job to do to be fair but wasn't expecting to see those cracks, which have now set their course and wouldn't of developed any further I don't think due to the old corrosion build up within them (they could of been there when I bought the van just not noticed them) , they've been sorted now and the heads fine thank you bud 😊👌👍👍👍.

[@jamesward5721]

In general, dear viewer, on Your Daily, you will need explosives to shift most of the nuts & bolts as they will be seized solid. :-) Did one today & not even my rorty air-gun would touch most of them. On the lower shock absorber mount - as an example - 1 of the 4 the big dewalt impact eventually broke the bolt.. 1 opened after being heated to the point of melting, 1 I cut with the grinder as nothing would open it & it ignored the heat... the fourth opened like a good little boy... EFFORT!! I also trust those jacking points about as far as I can chuck 'em.

[@Iveavan]

😂. Sounds like you had a good one there bud "😬" 👌👍👍👍.

Went to back it in - no go... ah ffs... :-) I do so love working outdoors instead of in the nice comfy workshop. :-)

Do they have rubber feet at the end? I Think the later vans were like that? All you can do is offer them up and see if they will fit. If not, I believe you can buy the ends separately.

Straight back into it, no messing around, what a legend!!!!! Where do you usually buy your parts? Did you do a video on removing the fender that you could share? I have a leak that has rotted the driver side floor at the wheel arch which I think is coming from the windscreen then flowing in behind the fender. Keep up the good work, love the vids and the hard work!

[@primetimber2885]

Call me dumb but what was the reason to replace it all. I see that Hd transverse replacements are available, just wondering the benefits you gained through the process which looks a lot work

[@Iveavan]

It was worn. With the van being over 18 years old and with 320k on the clock, it was noticeable that the front suspension was tired even on smoth roads, (this can be seen due to the cracks in the subframe) so it needed an overall ( along with a new HD spring that I fitted). It's definitely a job that needed to be done as it's definitely improved the handling, ride hight and less harsh on the road where it's absorbing the impacts much better 👌👍.

I've already got the air ratchet and air gun, just trying to keep the noise down due to the neighbours bud, but! I shall be using them whilst putting it back together 😉👍. I've stripped the paint off the subframe and those cracks are the only ones on there thankfully, I'm pretty sure due to the corrosion build up within those cracks, that they have travelled there course (well established) and now repaired😉👌👍👍👍.

[@paulluggar5964]

@IVEAVAN Nice one, I was surprised how relatively easily you removed everything but then you noticed the front leaf had been done before, that explains why everything came apart so well I suppose? I will enjoy the crack repair video I'm sure. 👍🇬🇧

[@Iveavan]

To be fair, I did soak every nut & bolt in WD40 every now and again over a week period whilst doing the rear suspension and loosened every nut & bolt off prior to filming it (besides the bottom plate) to make it flow better. But yes, they did come undone better then the rear suspension bolts with a couple of bolts that needed a little heat applied to them 😉👌👍👍👍.
