Thanks to the weather the car is back together and ready to go..................... to get a new cambelt
Productive day starting with fitting the rear camber shims. Took an early decision to drill out the bolts as they were rusted in place. Bit of a pain job but it’s done now.
Photos don’t pickup the camber but it looks fairly extreme in real life.
Then on to brake bleeding. That’s fun:sleeping:. Took the car for a test drive and they were still a little spongy so decided to do them again. Two big points from the test drive - 1) no issues with the new brake set up catching within the wheels! Result! 2) The banging on the front left was still there.
Off with the front wheels again and bled some more air out. Must also mention we triggered the abs several times on the test drive as googling tells me this can be an issue. Brake peddle is now as good as it has ever been.
Then on to the banging. Found the whole nearside hub was moving. Turns out the two bold holding the track rod end were loose:flushed: Bit naughty of me as I haven’t check the tightness of the bolts since all the bump and roll centre bits were fitted. The car is always banging over kurb a on track so I will check them more often. Lesson learnt!
Last thing, loving the white wheels but this is what they look like after 6 miles 😊
Can’t spend all my time cleaning them so undecided on colour still
