Next is the front right suspension.

First, the shock absorber cylinder is attached to the main body and I used pliers to get the pin to fit fully. Pins are used to allow movement in the mechanisms.

The lower part of the assembly is then put together ready to attach in a few steps' time.

Adding the control arm...

Then sliding on the suspension spring...IMG_4572.thumb.jpg.a750112a3392854119fdbd5800677f9a.jpg

 

Connecting piston and cylinder (sorry its out of focus a bit!)...

And finally attaching the whole thing with the two pins underneath...

And now the fourth and final wheel is attached!

Stage complete & looking good!

BTW, don't worry if the front wheels appear wobbly, they still need the steering mechanisms attached which will hold them securely together.
