What are these?

Sorry for my ignorance, what are the stainless parts that I've tried to photo!

Go on, give us a clue.
Ah now I can see a photo.
Looks like the bush on the end of a suspension arm.
A smaller picture, taken from further away, might be better.

It looks like a gigantic adjustable trailing or radius arm





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Thanks, what benefits could be had by the fact it's adjustable?

Well if it's a trailing arm, adjusting that will alter the track of the rear axle I would guess. A bit like toe-in/toe-out, but when one side toes in the other will toe out, if you see what I mean?





It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

It looks as if it is held on by a couple of M5 screws or self taps, so wouldn't work for long.
