Well pi$$ed off now...

But I'm asking WHY this time? I've read it could be the whole carrier that's damaged or twisted?

Yet again, help please. Crying or Very sad

I'm running General Grabber AT new style and boy are they noisy. HT tyres should be much kinder as not as chunky, and made for road use. I'm just fed up spending on my vehicle, I'm sure I'll soon have spent nearly the purchase price on parts just keeping it running, over the past three years.
I know it's an old car but has really put me off buying another Mitsubishi, my long term plan was a new L200/Triton when we eventually emigrate. I even joined the forum for them in Australia, that's put me off even more, with faults like the suspension failing after a year, seats that give you a bad back, EGR faults and blocked manifolds, CV joints going and airbag electrical faults needing looms replaced. Thought about a Pajero but will I have the same basic issues in ten years time that I have now? And it would then be a twenty four year old design,
I'm now thinking VW Amarok, as it is the only one that comes with full time 4x4 in an auto. Thankfully that has a lot less issues but cost more to purchase.

Another one emigrating? Lucky you, I wanted to do it nearly 20 years ago now. Just too late for me now...

Anyway, back on track...

I found these people to get a whole knuckle assembly this time....

Anyone used these people, or do you know of another place to get that part?

As after 'sleeping on it', all I can think of is the garage has knocked / twisted the knuckle assembly when they fitted their bearing the first time...?

So by the sounds of it Tom, whoever fitted the first bearing before I bought the truck, has damaged the carrier.

And I thought it was brilliant that when I removed that bearing back then (it 'fell out') and the new one went in so easily.

Whole new carrier and bearing this time I guess... Sad

This was that first bearing I removed before I put in my bearing....

New carrier and bearing has arrived.

And you's were right (Tom)...

This bearing is going to have to be pressed into the carrier.... (NOT by me though - garage job).

Er, Press in...?

Maybe not.

Just had a 'proper' look at it tonight and it just slots into the carrier without any force...?

What do you recon, still go ahead and fit the whole thing...? Crying or Very sad
