Out of Ideas Now

Cant see any of the parts being worn to excess then in all honesty matt...but i cud be wrong...depends how it was treated in its previous life too..

Well I've had the car two years now, and done just under 10k in it. It did start when I went over a large speed bump just under a month ago, and does seem to be getting worse. I'm beginning to wonder if the new drop links I've fitted could be making it worse, because they were a bitch to fit back on, due to the bolt spinning on the ball socket, and not being able to get a good grip with a spanner when tightening them up. notsure.gif

I'm going to VX today to pick some bits up for the shop, so going to try and get it booked in for tomorrow for them to have a look at.

[rushy]

worth looking on vauxhall TIS and finding out how long to replace front suspension mounts

then again vauxhall have to cover their life time warranties somehow

 

[jwalker]

TIS says replacing the bearings on both sides should only take 1.1 hours

That is scandalous

 

[Matt]

Damn, oh well, I'm just happy it's sorted. Car feels so much better now.

 

[MikeS]

sometimes your willing to pay extra just to get it sorted matt

it is when u pay the robbing b*****ds money then they say they cant find the fault

*blocked pre cat*

 

[Matt]

Exactly, I'd already wasted ~£250 trying to sort it myself

 

[Daz]
