Barum's are temp, picking up four toyo's tonight, which is why I'm so gutted as I wanted all four fitted :(
Tracking needed to be done anyways tbf (after all the balljoint/top mount issues I've had)
Decided I'm going to have the spare sprayed up for now and then source another spare.
It could be, doesn't look to have damaged the wheel, but by the time I've fecked about with it, is it worth it????
You don't still have the spare from your ph1 do you Budge?
Cheers mate, I had your bullets on and all was looking tasty, I'd even got rid of my knock, now I'll be lucky not to have killed something else suspension related!
If anyone see's a single o.z f1 come up for sale, let me know please.
Yeah I hope so Budge, was going to ask you if you still had the spare off the ph1 or if Vish had it?
I'm pretty good with a spray can, so may try it myself first, but I'll probably c**k it up... lol! Hopefully if I can just get it prep'd and sprayed black then someone else can do the green and...
Did he stop? Did he f**k! I don't even know if he noticed.
If I coulda caught him, there would have been some row.
Realise it could have been a lot worse, but seriously, not what I need on a Thursday morning.
Yeah I'm not alright, but my wallet is crying, this month I'd finally got my my...
I don't seem to have much luck with this car in general it seems:
Today, whilst going along my merry way, on a dual lane road (with bus lane), the nice fellow next to me decides he likes my lane better. With his music obviously too loud (could not hear me beep) he continues to move towards me...
<3 the van.
You need to keep putting miles on it pronto though (it'll wonder what's going on otherwise) lol!
If you want any help with the company logo on the van, let me know. (Sometimes it works out quite a lot cheaper if you get a illustrator file completely ready and just pay for a company...
Awesome, love how yours looks fresh as a daisy on top and like something from Winston's back garden underneath.
Oh to live it up like you mate....Maybe someday soon.
Wheels weights are something you may have knocked off then, which could put your wheels seriously out of balance, get to a tyre place and see if they need balancing (5£ a wheel on avg), or tracking is also a possibility. Check the wheel nuts first though, as it sounds quite likely its them...
I'm not looking great for this, my nan hasn't been very well and I need to go and see her, best time is Friday night and stay up there Saturday, and it's all the way in Luton.
What exact process did you use to raise the car? You said about the top mounts, did you loosen these off?
Bit more info and I can try to help more.
I've recently stripped my car down more times than I'd care to talk about, so hopefully I can be of some use.
Silly things but....
Done the wheel bolts up tight enough all around?
Spring seated properly on shock/top cap?
Knocked the wheels weights off by accident so wheels need rebalancing?
Did up everything you un-did to raise the car?
Need a flatmate?
(would mean by gf staying over and prancing around in underwear*)
*this may not happen
Oh and on topic, if you play next week or whatever I may venture down and have a crack if that's alright? Played a bit of fottie last night over the park and qutie enjoyed myself, so if...
I think I need to join failsport, get on the trackdays, the football, and the workshop availability ;)
Even if it increases the mileage I do horrendously!
Luke, JEALOUS! (Although my ex is down there, so not that jealous) lol!
They look bloody spiffing.
Think I'll be having the ktec ones.
As for your question, can you not wind it up any further? If not, and you've fitted everything correctly, then I see nothing wrong with it?
I had checked for play in the balljoint itself, but hadn't thought to check the bolts connecting it to the wishbone, the one I chnaged was all good, but that side, no no no!!
Cheers to everyone for all the help/suggestions
WOOOOOOOOO
So tonight when I got home I finally decided I'd had enough, got home from work and took apart the whole front end of the car, took out he front shocks and set up the top mounts (which were already correct, FFS) then I went about checking everything else....
After a quick inspection...
