[QUOTE="Seamus1982, post: 625633, member: 14071"] Evening all, Hope lockdown has you all busy on your buses. I have been told that my front beam is showing some signs of rust and needs to be replaced. From what I understand my 69 bay has the ‘early’ beam, with 100mm fixings. Can anyone offer up any thoughts on this? Also, are the front axles drive specific, my van is LHD? With the job of replacing the front beam, it raises the question of whether I should lower the bus at the same time. Generally, I am pretty happy with the stock ride height, the bus is pretty standard, with the exception of paint which was done when it arrived in the UK through Cool Campers. What would make me change the ride height is any improvement on the wind sway the van suffers from. Would dropping a couple of inches make any difference to this? I have owned the van 10 years, but my learning is through doing while I have learnt a heap about the engine and gearbox, front end set up has yet to need any work, hence starting from scratch here Any thoughts greatly received. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
