i've just put my rear end together on the mini to realised that the quadrants don't pivot on the the trailing arm , it worked before i pulled it apart. now its back together the quadrants don't want to pivot on the trailing arm does any one have a pic of how the quadrant should be set to get a free pivoting action.i looked in the mini king catalouge and says it has spaces when i pulled it apart there where no spaces just a washer and a spring washer.

Are they binding on the arm or are the bushes within the arm damaged?

Have you put the quadrants in upside down?

All garage work involves equal measures of enthusiasm, ingenuity and a fair degree of irresponsibility.

They swing very freely - just tilting the arm and the quadrants find their own low point

thanks for the picture. i have the bolt going coming from the top. but that shouldnt make that much difference other than that i think i may have over tightened it?
