Featured Replies

really need help here,,,just lowered my car with coilovers.about 40mm- when i put my foot down the car pulls bad to the left ,feels like the passenger side wheel is steering out when it happens.when i fitted the coilovers i also changed the drop links to merc ones..bottom arms with ball joints and the passenger hub and shaft,, am thinking may be the tracking is out? any help would be greatfull

Did you get tracking done ?? If not you need to

yea am doing that to day,,,thanks for the reply

Was the hub second hand? Report back once the geometry has been checked

I think the ball joints are handed also so make sure you haven't got an offside ball joint on a near side lower arm!

Dude, you should get tracking done immediately when messing about with suspension, ball joints, etc.

I've seen one guy wear a brand new tyre down to the thread in just over 100 miles simply because he didn't after changing shocks. Must have disturbed his trackrod ends for wear that severe though, but it doesn't take much to throw it out.
