Lamborghini P250 Rear control arms

Time to give the rear control arms a clean and repaint. The ball joints are in good condition, but I found a split in one of the rubber boots which is an MOT failure nowadays and will of course cause the ball joint to wear quickly if dirt gets in. Used an off the shelf boot cover found on ebay from these guys http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=171151984973

Lamborghini Urraco P250 rear suspension rebuild.

Now that the weather has set in (and the MOT ran out) I decided it was time to go through the suspension at each corner. There are a few clunks at the front end so the MOT man would likely spot issues.

I've pulled one rear side off and will go through cleaning and painting the various suspension parts. It's in good condition, just doesn't look so pretty and I like things to look nice and clean.  It's very simple technology and really just like most "other" 70's Fiats in terms of how it's put together.

The only suspension issues seem to be the top mounts (of course) which is my first task. It'll be nice to de-rust and paint this lot over the next couple of months back to the factory colours.
