rear axel - megwan - 20-04-2014

Has to lower mine the notch method on both sides while my other axle is in the process of being built. It's a dodle. Managed to get a nice even drop of around 40 mm. Remove the nuts off end of bar. Bang trailing arm partially out jack up slit back in. Ps disconnect the shock makes for an easy life

Never had an issue to be fair had to lower my 205 this method and that's still going strong two years on with someone else. Never had time to rebuild an axle in my ownership.

Only fucks them up if they bearings are already shagged, so when you remove the trailing arm the bearing collapses then you put it back in, hey presto shot axle.
