Clio 172 Cup

What the actual f**k. Garage fitted new discs and pads before i purchased the car.

 

[Daz...]

Time to strip the rears down and see what’s going on.

Always has me second guessing when a garage I haven’t used does something on a car.

Not good is it.

Either they haven't been torqued correctly or the spacers missing. Probably both.

I nipped the camber bolts up with buzz gun but didn’t tighten by hand afterwards. They weren't tight enough so moving around.

This car had new rear discs fitted a few months ago by a random garage. If they haven’t fitted the spacers behind discs, would this create noticeable movement in the hub that would cause alignment to be out?

Yeah coz leaving spacers off and shagging the bearings is the same as a bolt not torqued fully and picked up on test drive 😂

c**t 😂

Missed a trick.

Well no spacer fitted to the side with wheel wobble.

Surprisingly when nipped back up with spacer it rotates nice and clean. Will change anyhow as it’s going to f**k itself it some point.

Otherside had spacer but fitted the wrong way around. Joy of joys.

So we get to see this calamity in two threads now.

Excellent work Andy. X

4x Michelin Pilot Sport 3 ordered today.

£ 420 fitted plus £40 cash back.

£380 is not bad.

If the bearing feels fine and goes together alright just send it Andony

I mean what's the worst that can happen, you get a wheel bearing noise in a few thousand miles (if you still have the car by that point)

New bearing pushed in, stubby polished, refitted with spacer, torqued 175nm, and road tested. All is good.

Also fitted a new set of bosch blades and Osram night breakers.

I know you're not as mathematically astute as some of us northern monkeys but 'pull the other one bud' comes to mind🤣🤣
