Silly question - how do you know it is leaking badly? Does the LHM go anywhere but back to the tank via the strut returns when the strut is tired? (I...

Last post
The subframe bolts are the same on the 2wd & the 4x4, or at least on the mk2 cars, so one should be easy enough to acquire. I’d personally remove the...
