On the subject or racks, how much of a PITA is it to get one changed? My mk2 ZT seems to have developed a leak somewhere on the rack. As far as I can tell it's not at the banjo bolt, which I've been told is a common point, or round the gaiters but somewhere else I can't quite see. It's making a bit of a mess on the drive and upsetting my better half. Thanks

Cheers Trikey. So no sub frame drop like the Haynes manual implies. Might be a job too far for the driveway but at least a decent mechanic should be able to manage without dismantling the whole front end.
