Hi Jim
Thanks for the guide, me and my dad attacked mine this evening, check out the picture below, absolutely disgusting! I don't know if you want to use this photo as your 'bad case'?
Something I feel I should point out though, the two bolts that hold the height corrector to the subframe have an amount of adjustment in them. When we bolted the height corrector back onto the car without really thinking about this adjustment the ride height was too low, so undoing the bolts and pushing the corrector towards the front of the car had the effect of raising the ride height back to where it should be.
But then again our bolts were some stupid size like 5/16"... Our metric ones wouldn't fit! So that could be the reason for that if the 'adjustment' (slop) is not normal?
This was before we soaked up the excess LHM:
And this was after we'd soaked up most of the excess LHM - niice..
