Hi ho possums,
Just a quick reflection from our 3 mth WA trip July - Sept this year.
Our 2000 Merc Sprinter lost a front swaybar mount through metal fatigue ! Unusual but there you go.
Two Geraldtn businesses that provided superb service and assistance & which I thoroughly recommend are;
AXIS AUTOS, 284 Marine Tce
Geraldton, located just down from the Tourist Office & adjoining the 24hr
free camp carpark.

Thanks for that..now I'll
check mine.
My trip problem was the chassis/body section fractured at front left s/bar mount .
had replacemt bush & mount flown ADL to
Geraldton over weekend for $38 ..where
Perth had to source from east coast at about $80 & a week !
ADL Co out at Wingfield , Van Spares are a great Merc source of parts & service.
cheers
