cheers guys prob just get um all refurbd now, ive got yoko's on the front and they dnt fully cover the 172 rims,they leave a slight lip!where as pe2's dnt leave any alloy to contact! i was only going about 10-15mph and it just went abs was fully on and i had the car basically half lock towards the left!the apex springs on my car dnt give at all, same with the low profile tyres,they dnt rele help in icey conditions,it was a real f**king bang when i hit it fought id fukd the strut,but all seems well the car dnt seem to be pulling while driving anymore than it used to!the only thing ive noticed is that when driving say on a strait road my steering wheel is not in the centre positon its slighly of centre if u get me!:S

pics make it look minor but it rele is quite deep!:dapprove: dno what colour to refurb them to!the standard colour looks good on my cheery bus!

 

[S Garbett]

So you have pushed the wheel back into the arch a little??

Check your subframe because you could have bent it!

[vavazoom]

[miltage2]

[mini-valver]

Stupid forum. Links worknow, lol.
Youve knocked your tracking out, possibly bent the track rod, take it to garage and get it on the ramps and if its straight have the tracking re-aligned or youll soon have bald tyres.....

 

[tommyboy]

good n bad indeed!

 

[S Garbett]

go get ur tracking done and if the front wheel is still not striaght get it into a garage and see whats happened. could be wisbone or subframe!
