    Flexible Brake Hoses

    I am replacing my flexi hoses, but didn't see anything listed as 'Extended' as I am running a Plus 2" spring. Is this not and issue on the 80 because of the location of the relevant to the direction of travel of the axle or what have people used?

    Noisy PS pump or steering box?

    I have had the dreaded leak on my PS system for about 7 years but its just over the O/S hub so Im pretty sure its the box/hose not the Pump as its on the N/S?.

    I am trying to remove my rear bumper corners to get them paintmatched and resprayed. I have taken the mudflaps off and the bolts from the rear underside lip, however its still not budging.
