hummm.... iam gunna have to look through invoice from garage..... edit spoke with garage as cant see it on invoice. he states this. the part has not been changed this would only be changed if customer requests so, fair point but i did tell him change any part that needs it . the part seemed fine on install the garage is a mot place too so are qwick fit on the right idea ?

They was mate apparently according to Qwick fit they may of been over tighten ? when the car first came back from garage when parking i could here a tiny clicking noise when turning lock to lock i just put it to being new and needed settling in. i haven't heard that noise since nor was it bad i properly wouldn't of even noticed it if i was listening for the slightest Noise. but after tracking and going back twice the guy test drove it as i wasn't happy with how the car lurched to left when let go of wheel he came up with the idea that the top mount being damaged or siezed. I have read about this and it seems plauable so i guess a warranty issue ? or garage? cars covered 1.5k and works 7 week old come tomorrow. Just praying that getting hold of some apex springs 35 or 25mm and some new top mounts will fix the issue. rubbish to be having to pay for the same job twice however.

car has a siezed top mount bearing causeing it to stick which is causeing the veering the left... time to get some apex 35 or 25mm front springs. if anyone has please pm me so can swap springs at same time as top mount to finealy raise the car up. thanks for everyones help ill post if this does fix issue in a few weeks

bushes are done, one sits in a little more then being flush but are flat which is good. major difference in how car is handles bumps now rather then hitting so hard. steering is a lot nice. car only had a slight pull to left if wheel is let go so went to have tracking done hoping to get her straight.... made it worse pulls quite hard and needs constant pressure to keep straight, luckily have geo care from kwick fit. but after waiting over a hour to get it done i didn't have time to get it back i rang them and the and asked the manger to test drive it but hes only next on Monday.. i don't understand why car drove perfectly straight before having all parts changed. only thing that is not new(3months ) is the hubs and antiroll bar. i can post a picture of the tracking results if that's any help to anyone thanks again for any help :P

:):):) full of help :):) that's great i will show the garage this yeah seems to be worse on drivers side (hence the bad banging noise) pass side is at angle but no gap. its mad feels so soft when pushing hard almost like a shock is blown more noticeable of left turn but that's a different story either going back to apex 35mm or something less like 25? i have read so good reviews about h&r so didn't hesitate when i see them, wish i just stuck to apex spring was cracked and drivers side shocker blown millions time better then these. ill message tomorrow once bushes are done when i get tracking done later on ill get a picture of the track rod end when its up i sky i have already asked garage to see if they can see anything up ill post more tommoz and show the new garage your post they seem to know what they was on about advised cupra bushes so fingers crossed thank again been a great help had this issue for the last 6 weeks so glad i asked for advise

ill try squeeze under car to see if can get a pic. its a shame because cost 180 quid to fit new shocks springs, i supplied the parts. i done the inner and outer track rod ends but the garage have had it apart to the springs. they are a mad angle, the car is getting new console bushes tomoz i have gone with cupra solid bushes, anything to advise them on ? direction angle ? cars off for tracking afterwards so ill be able to get a pic of track rod end and of bushes if they have fitted them correctly really grateful for your insight, really baffled me tbh thanks again

the car is in for new console bushs tomoz so will ask them to look to see if they can see anything. lesson learned if it the springs

i wish i had took a picture. the car was getting tracked at kwick fit hunter machine it looked well tighten but the pass side seemed ok abet at a funny angle. if i jack car up now it will pull it flush so no point taking pic. i thought it was lose but the guy says it because of how low it is.... kind wish i didn't chose the cheapest garage.

i will replace them when new springs are fitted.... in my mind its like its a 50mm drop or something as such... just wanted to double check there is no other issue before throwing more money on the car changing springs etc.

could the garage of missed any parts are to cause this issue ?

yes buddy noted. had car for 9 months so have been changing so many parts to freshen car up, they will be replaced with new shocks in the next few months but need to sort this low ride height and track rod end issue. i have noticed drivers side bump stop is battered. this wont affect height thought just compression ?

thanks for replying, Iam for sure worried about how low it specially after all the new parts i have changed. where the track rod end bolts up rather then being flush it has pulled down about 1-2cm when car was up in air the so when hitting slight bumps it sounds shocking... but thats not the issue. its how low the car sits with 35mm h&r springs new shocks. iam gunna buy some apex 35mm like car was on at the start. would new top mounts raise the car up ? i will get a picture when partner and kids in car its shocking. just cant figure out why i have took part number and spoke with larkspeed and it comes back as 35mm drop. madness car was fine on old parts :(

heres a wider view apex 35mm on back and h&r 35mm on front
