    Eventful afternoon

    Went for a drive the sarvo had heaps of fun playing on some of the local tracks until we bent a steering arm
    We were coming down the last hill (very steep hill) when we started to vier off the track we ended up halfway up the bank
    For a moment we got that rolling feeling,not nice.I got out to see what the problem was the first thing i saw was both wheels pointing away from each other
    Bloody bent steering arm again
    ohwell we couldn't go forward because the rear right hand wheel was about 2ft off the ground and she was threatning to roll so out with the hand winch
    We winched her back a metre or so than reversed back up the hill a bit.
    Off we went down the hill with two wheels pointing apart we stuck to the ruts and slid down the bottom.
    Than we hooked a snatchstrap round the steering arm,hooked it up to a tree and reversed to straten it so we could get home.
    A few hundred metres down the track it bent again
    we drove to the main road than called a tow truck

    All in all an eventfull arvo

    CHEERS TIM..

    But whatever you do, DON'T reinforce or fit a strengthened arm
