Subject:      Loose front end parts

Listees,
    Since I have owned my Westy, when I go over a bump in the road, etc,
there is a lot of rattling under the front end.  The rear seems fine
(especially with the new list purchase air lift kit).  It has no pull to one
side or anything, it is like loose suspension parts.


    I suspect the bushings, and I took a few pics for those that have
repaired this to take a look at.  The first 2 pics are of the idler arm
bushings, They look like they should be more to the end, but I have not seen
another van's front end, so I cannot speculate.  The third pic is of some
other rubber grommet that is cracked.


Let me know what you think......
