hmmmm strange?! mine are ok?

i know if they are set to low the antiroll bar can hit the subfame, but thats only over speed humps etc

 

[izibizi]

raise the front

 

[tomehb]

There not set that low atall. i Was wondering it does remind me of what use to happen when the strut tops rub? but now it happens before full lock.. Could it be that ? if so what shall i tell the garage today ? if anyway wants to ring me and explain .. feel free 07739316358

[tomehb]

Guess what, I had exactly the same thing today after having had them fitted, it turns out the garage had fitted one of the top bearings the wrong way round stopping the strut tuning, which meant the spring was turning on the strut. 15 minutes to fix it myself, now perfect.

 

[LegoHead]

dont know if you can get the bearings on wrong way round?

My knocking seems to have gone. Might have to do some slow speed tests over some bumpy road to find out for sure.

 

[tomehb]

Mm, they said there was nothing wrong.. when my dad picked it up, also said my wheel bearings wont last 3 months etc but there is somthing wrong.. maybe someone can drive it at the car meet just like around in a circle so i can have there view cheers

 

[Fred@BTM]

sounds like cowboys fitted them, i got your pm

 

[tomehb]

maybe indeed ah i did not think you would be online this late thats why i told you to email back

 

[matty w]

should of got someone clued up to fit them,they never knocked on my mates car

 

[tomehb]

well the idea was to get them fitted then setup

 

[matty w]

well the idea was to get them fitted then setup

it would have been easier for someone to fit them who can set them up

 

[tomehb]
