What's the easiest way to sort this please? Can I remove the steering wheel and pull the shaft...
Working by myself with access to floor jacks and a two-post lift. Subframe lowered on one side and box going in that way.
It's heavy and I'm struggling to get it back on the block by myself. Thought about raising the car and using a transmission jack, but how do I secure the box when lifting so...
Trying to separate the gearbox from the block. I've removed all of the bolts I think, but struggling to find the extra 2x nuts that need undoing. Where are they, please?
Ok that makes sense. I found that coilovers with stiffer front springs reduced roll significantly. Can't comment on aftermarket front springs, as haven't tried them.
DS1.11 will eat your wheels. As will any proper pad.
Only solution is to put a decent coating on the wheels, and wash them before they get wet. 5 mins with a jetwash will do it if you've coated them.
I use max caster (centre of top mount as far back in the turret as possible) and camber right in the middle of the turret. With caster you get the benefit of camber when you need it (when turning the wheel) without camber's drawbacks, which are less contact patch in a straight line and potential...
