Well as mine is almost on 6000miles I thought I'd take the linkage apart this afternoon.

All looks okay with the dogbone linkage and the lower shock mount bearings although there wasn't much grease in there. The bolt head (LHS) for the frame to knuckle pivot point was difficult to get a spanner on so that will have to wait till another day. Sod's law this will be the one that goes first, especially now the others are nicely greased.
