When the van was lowered the rear wheel did not sit centre in the arch..... (see pic below), the wheel sat too far forward.

So I took the axle off today and had another plate welded on but this plate had the locating hole for the pin that goes through the leaf spring positioned 15mm further forward, this allowed the axle to be moved back 15mm.

Much better....

I also fitted some original mudflaps....

Next job is to paint the front calipers and also the rear drums....

cheers

At the moment i got my pal's MK1 RS front springs on, but he wants them back soon, so i'll put some MK2 lowering springs on once he has his springs back.

That's about the 3rd or 4th person on the forum who has had your style of wheel (same as the MK4 Mondeo Titanium) who has had them crack. Rumble Bee had the same thing happen. Doesn't seem that they are up to the job long term.

Superchips Bluefin remap. Works great, ten times better than the "KCR powerbox" that I tried, and at a lower price.
