[QUOTE="Len Matthews, post: 17694, member: 178"] It could be that the studs that pass through the rear frame and upper frame members are seized.The springboxes must be free to pivot to accommodate for suspension movement. The sleeve in the rear of the oil tank must be free in it's bushes and must project slightly either end so when the nuts outside of the eyebolts are tightened everything still moves. Also, leave the eyebolt locknuts loose until everything else has been tightened. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
