Hi Guys, Looking to get some Pilot sport 3's in 195/45/16 (I've got good 195's on the back and bald 205's on the front so just going to match the rear ones, I know its not 100% spec for 182). On camskill they have two PS3's in this size. The only difference I can see is the fuel efficiency...

No turbo but I do have a an induction kit and a Stig air freshener, essentially the same HP gain. ? So returned it to the garage, the mechanic struggled to replicate the noise so I took him out for a drive. He agreed it didn't sound right and I asked to swap the old dogbone back on for me...

No forwards, I cant replicate it in reverse im too scared to lose control! Medium throttle going up hill and releasing the clutch quickly but not fast enough to just spin the wheels. Will do it on flat and down hill too, I guess uphill just puts everything under the most stress. The box is...

Yeah it seems to be fine. To make it judder like that you need to really give it a bit of welly and release the clutch quickly. Will do, hopefully nothing serious! Will ask them to put other dogbone back on and hope for best. Tom

Will check the wheel bolts. Best way I can describe it is a low creaky, rumbling, grinding sound when engaging the clutch. Its also present in first and second and low revs when I boot it, sounds like a blown wheel bearing a little bit. Its hard to hear because I have an induction kit on and it...

Hi Guys, Got the car back from the garage today they have serviced it, new brake fluid, braded brake lines and fitted a new dogbone mount. They also replaced the bolt on the wishbone to ball joint and checked all the other bolts you mentioned earlier. On my drive back home I noticed a horrific...

Thanks so much for your help Steve, I owe you a beer. Will report back when I get the car back Monday.

Not sure if im an idiot and thats god level sarcasm or if im just an idiot... The offending bolt is holding the ball joint assembly to the wishbone, looks like a bog standard bolt:

Haha well thats quite a spectacular misunderstanding. Is the strut to hub bolt direction likely to do any damage? I guess I can swap them back easy enough when I check the wishbone bolts haha! I don't have the old wishbones, they were changed a good 6 months ago now. Its going into the garage...

BOTH strut to hub bolts were facing the wrong way, I have since turned them around so the nut is front facing and the bolt head is rear facing. I checked the caliper to hub bolts on both sides, which were tight. I checked the track rod ends which were both tight also. I tightened the...

Thats a great shout, I will check this out tomorrow. So in the above image left to the rear, right to the front? Is this the same on both sides or mirrored? I will see if I can buy another jack and inspect the other bolts you mentioned. Thanks

Ball joints came attached to the wishbones, I checked the pinch bolt and the bolts holding them to the wishbone and they all seem okay. No visible play in them when wiggling with a big screw driver either. Didn't check the strut to hub bolts but caliper carrier bolts are tight, I didn't check...

Ive just been out to try this. Using the foot brake and just the clutch I cant replicate the noise. I tried using the handbrake and a bit of gas and I can’t replicate it either, or at least I cant hear anything over the handbrake creaking! Also tried stalling the engine but that did nothing either

Checked all wheel bolts and torqued to 110nm. Dont have a jack with me atm but going to drop car at garage next week and will ask them to check if spacers sitting flat or to remove completely when investigating Theyve been on for a long time with no issues previously however.

Got 20mm hucentric spacers on the front

Hi Guys, I had another thread regarding noises on full lock which seem to have been cured with the top mount spacer and new ARB bushes. Since then I have been getting a loud knock on braking and accelerating usually at low speeds but may just not be able to hear at high speed. When it clunks I...

Got under the car today and toghtened everything. Near side ARB bracket was a little loose but other than that all seemed tight. I gave the engine a quick wobble and noticed a bit of a noise coming from the drivers side engine mount. The mount is aftermarket but its only about 4 months old. The...

Not had a chance to get under the car yet. I fitted the strut spacer kit today but it hasn't helped at all. Tried to replicate the noise dry steering but it doesn't clunk all when going lock to lock. It makes a sort of similar noise if I turn the top mount with a spanner without holding the...

Okay will do, is it best to tighten the wishbones with some load on the wheel or when up in the air? Pretty sure I did everything up RFT but I'll look up proper torques this time.

HI Guys, I have been getting very loud clunks when manoeuvring at low speeds for a while now on full or close to full lock. It has also happened when braking or accelerating briskly. It sounds like its coming from the front suspension and sounds like maybe the top mounts moving around? It...

Got a print out? 30hp gain from an exhaust and remap seems... a lot...

I believe the 182 is PS so 179 BHP claimed

Were you in a blue 182?

The acoustic valve was installed for this rolling road run.

Hi Guys, A few months back I had my car mapped at EFI. The engine is close to standard, it's had the centre silencer deleted and the catalyst modified to remove the olive join. I was unsure about what induction to run so kindly Chris at EFI offered to test both the standard airbox and the...

Hi Guys, I fitted the new top mounts and inspected everything. Looks like one pinch bolt wasnt tight at all, (opposite side to noise) have torqued them both up to 30nm as per guides. Car is now driving tight as a drum. With no noises! Thanks for the help

Ok. I have got the top mount kit, will tear down and inspect. Top caps just hand tightened in the air and then quite tight on the ground?

So if I try and pry the ball joint down and there is no movement the bolt should be okay?

Hopefully i can get hold of the bushes today and take everything apart. I didnt torque up the pinch bolt, I did it ft if memory serves me well. If I’ve over tightened is it a case of replacing the bolts? I gunned up the top caps when the car was on the ground, i didnt hear any bad noises haha

Here is a video: Bearings are reasonably new but I have ordered a complete new febi kit and will put that on. Will I be able to see if the spring is seated just by jacking it up? Cheers
