Omega General Help / New donuts / Poor handling
« on: 26 August 2011, 19:44:17 »
Put Omega in for MOT and I knew she'd fail on both front arms as DLK had shown me and rear donuts. All fitted new, but he failed her on 2 broken springs to the rear. Managed to get them today ( £43 a pair for Boge, which I believe are a good make ).
Now yesterday, before the new donuts ( Febi Bilstein ) went on, the 2 rear springs were obviously broken.......... she handled like a boat but was very predictable. Today, ( new springs get fitted in the morning ) she is stepping out on bends and behaving like an unruly teenager !!
I think I read somewhere on OOF that if the donuts were not fitted correctly, handling would become " interesting" Do you think it's the donuts fitted wrong or is it that the whole geometry is all to hell after such major work to the back ??
I will be booking her in for a trip to Chesham when all works are done, but she is not pleasant to drive at the moment.
Thanks for reading and any thoughts and advice appreciated.
