    Where to buy front ball joints for a 172?

    It's nearly MOT time and I've been doing some pre checks and one side has a little play in it. Been to euro parts who don't stock. Any ideas where I can get them from? The wishbones are fine so I'm just after the ball joints

    Opinions on these few mods :)

    I'd go with the springs. A diesel with an induction kit? Not certain how that will fine. Sticker bomb well I'm 33 not my cup of tea. Get a decat and a remap would be my recommendation

    Low MPG after changing post cat Lambda

    Well filled up today having had the on board computer say I'm getting 31.7 mpg worked it out on a manual calculation and I'm actually getting 32.8. So not far out. Tried removing the up stream lambda today and failed. This thing is welded in! Began to round the nut off. So thought this was a...

I've heard there are sometimes particular drive cycles that need to be followed to get the oxygen sensor to give a reading dependent on...

    steering wheel wobble above 60mph

    Well I had it up on the ramps yesterday to do oil , filters and replace a dead lambda sensor and couldn't see anything a matter with rack, tre, inner cv joints. Took it down to a tyre specialist and it turns out Steve m was right. Front wheels completely out of balance. Problem now solved

    Steering doesn't return to centre.

    Ah righty. This is on a different car. This one was for a mate It needed a new powersteering rack. It had begun to seize inside possibly due to a lack of powersteering fluid.
