I love it when a plan comes together......

Unfortunately it didn't today  :o :o :( :(

I has a slight wobble on my steering recently, and after taking the front wheels off and finding tons of mud, I thought great, no need to look any further just now. Unfortunatley I spotted a leak out of the bottom of the swivel, but as I had a spare seal kicking around I thought I may as well just do it now.

On stripping it down to this



I found the ball was badly pitted



and the upper bearing cage was severly worn




No wonder it was bloomin wobbling, note to self...... don't look at anything else till after mudmaster!
