Title: it's all over the bleeding place.....!!!
Post by: Nickffc on 30 April 2009, 16:42:34
just got off the phone to the local tyre place for a quote for 4 new tyres.... and asked about tracking as when i brake the car is all over the place....a bit like have a steering rack made of wine gums.....!!!!

i was told they could do the three adjustments but i maybe that the front bushes are shot.....!!!! he did say that they would have a go at the tracking but if it is the bushes there would be no charge for the tracking....thats honest of him...?

anyway....i've looked in the forum and cant find anything about changing bushes???

any one have a clue on the best way round this....???

cheers

You are not far from Wheels in Motion once you have replaced the wishbones

You apparently use certain pattern wishbones, OEM / Vauxhall aren't cheap, but I can't now remember whose to use ...... others will, I'm sure, advise! :y  :y  :y

Lemforder, think they made the OE ones, around £50 each from Eurocar parts, think Autovaux can supply the same ones for slightly less.

what did you have done at WIM...?

was it expensive...? :-?

i know where you are very well i  small world

well i think the cost at wim was £60 plus vat and they will set all the settings on the car camber caster inc rears  and tracking and because the mig is now old using vauxhall settings is no good they have there own setting and it makes so much difference to the car and how it drives
trust me mate it is worth it
