suspension - valver

[Adams_16v]

i noticed when i was cleaning one of my wheels yesterday the car was rocking slightly when i was giving it a hard clean, im sure it doesnt usually do this. also noticed when i shut the car door, the car kind of rocks for about 1-2 seconds.

suspension problem???

cheers

shocks maybe mate. is it a bit bouncy?

 

[cliosportcraig]

Its supposed to bounce up and down once then settle, sounds like a dodgy shocker, perfect excuse for willy track

 

[Adams_16v]

not really bouncy, just seems to rock side to side a bit! seems to drive and handle fine!

 

[Adams_16v]

willy track is being fetched nxt week

 

[JAY172]

if you push the front of the car down on the corner,how many times does it bounce up and down before it settles?

 

[Adams_16v]

it seems to bounce once, but seems to move side to side a couple of times. like the whole car is rocking side to side. wierd.

 

[JAY172]

if it drives and handles ok then i dont think there is anything to worry about.

 

[Adams_16v]

ok thanks mate, ill keep an eye on it!

how hard is full williams track to fit jay?

 

[JAY172]

what parts you got?

wishbones,anti roll bar,struts etc?

 

[Adams_16v]

yeah the lot basically including driveshafts as well. im guessing i can use my current 16v springs with the willy shocks?

 

[JAY172]

just post me a list of what parts you are changing please mate?

 

[Adams_16v]

wishbones
driveshafts
roll bar
shocks

i think its all as it is on the subframe actually matey!

 

[JAY172]

more time consuming than actually major difficult with that lot. the only really awkward bit might be the anti roll bar as the subframe mounting points can be tough to put back together. what are you actually doing? swapping all the parts over to your car or fitting a willy subframe with all the parts already attached to it?

 

[Adams_16v]

well, whichever is easiest i think mate. unless you fancy earning a few bob?

 

[JAY172]

its not to bad a job but we can sort something out if you want. wouldnt mind meeting up before hand just to have a quick look to see what would be the easiest option and cheapest for you. if you want to do that then drop me a pm and ill send you my phone number.
