All here guys Cheers Andy

There we go......voice of knowledge. Might go and check if there is oil left in my gearbox :D J

I think....I could be wrong, but the gearbox breather is in there so the box could have been overfilled in the past, or it might still be and you will be getting a wee bit of overflow......or this is just standard fare....not sure....Could also be the crankcase breather. Does your blue inlet...

Hmm, they have offered to look at it and sort out the issue. They are really nice chaps you know. I am just concerned in case something is bucked and all this alignment is worthless :/ A

you forgot bucked car bud :/

But would that have affected the crackerjack values on the rear and would such a small wobble affect this? Just to be clear, the front face of the wheel doesn't move at all. Its the inside lip at the back of the wheel where spokes dont live that has a bit of action. A

I understand bud. Well, I looked at the passenger front left wheel and there is the very slightest wobble when its running free in first gear so I have put it on the back for now until i can get the tyre swapped onto the other wheel Tempted to put the above charts to the company who did the...

Renault.......sorry.

No mate.....the shocks were reno......top mounts/bearings were KYB......ball joints and tre's were lemforder and track rods were firstline. A

Not at all Michael

Feb_Alignment - before any suspension work Mar_Alignment - after shocks, top mounts, inner track rods, tre's, bottom ball joints Why is the camber so borked after the NEW suspension is fitted when one side in Feb was within tolerance? :S Why are the rear axle measurements so bad in Feb...

Hmm........something is amiss with wheel alignment results. :S I am scanning it now and will upload asap J

hah.....i can imagine bud :D J

No bud.....everything but those. FYI....ANY work on this suspension is utter ****. **** The inner track rods were a complete and utter s**te to do. :/

Yes bud, sorry......bit thick on that one. may do the jack it up and let wifey idle it in first to inspect for buckling. Would obv only see if it was big

Fair point Chip........i don't think so, but to prove it to myself (and you, cos i know you really do care man :D) I will do a wee swapsie with the rear. I have a spare 172 wheel in t'boot so if its that it could be a quick fix :D thanks guys, keep em coming A

I flipping left it at home. I only have the old one that was pre my suspension refresh so that probably wont help. Ill do it early evening and drop it up here. really appreciate everyone input here. I miss my feisty handling wee frog box :( J

Shat, sorry..not silly at all..that was the thing i meant to include but forgot as I see that as a biggie in this kind of situation. Yes, tyre pressures are on the money as far as I understand. Sitting around 32 front and 30 rear. J

Hmm.....well I have had it laz0r3D twice now and they have pointed out iffy camber and castor......but they didn't scream "your car is bucked" at me. If camber and castor is out, does this spell bendage? A

Right, so having a read of search results scared the shat out of me a bit :S How would i go about checking if my subframe or wishbones were bent? J

Hey Korky, I couldnt get the rack to budge one bit at all mate with wifey moving it and me under the car on ramps. As for the wishbone bushes, well......they are rusty but with full force on a crowbar i couldn't move them that much, I assume there has to be a bit of play in them though. The...

Right gang, you all know I have went through a suspension refresh that caused me agony BUT.....in the process.....the knocking that was driving me spare is now gone. :) BUT BUT A "brisk" drive home down the motorway this evening revealed that the car was VERY float at speed. Unnervingly so :(...

steering cant be off too much or it will mess with the steering angle sensor......taking the wheel off is not a fix. when the wheels get aligned, they set the wheel straight first...... so....do this EDIT. sorry, saw you had the alignment done, if so.....something is amiss. The alignment is...

Hey, Not a big problem at all but can just be a bit annoying at times. I mainly notice this when the car is cold, but it can run on for quite some time. So imagine this.....car is on cold start.........just pulling off and for the very first split second of pressing the accelerator pedal, the...

flol! agreed....... as has already been said, its more a sub 5k absence rather than a 5k kick. Rstuner simply remedies that "flaw" if you aks me. all we need now is a "VTAK" comment and we will be just bucking dandy in this thread ;) J

How does the 182 pull better? J

Tell me about it bud. Without the right tools, its an utter **** of a job. :/

Brilliant, shattered a variable crows foot today and the rod just laughed at a stilson. Fck

Seriously. Need help here. Can't get the track rods off, but that's another issue. I'll just get/fashion a tool tomorrow to do so. I simply don't see them making this noise.....yes, they are MUCH looser than the new ones but no knocking. I just for the life of me can't see what is knocking. I...

Brilliant, top job. Thanks dude J
