With regards to diff bushes failing.

Also am i looking for the bushes to be split or fallen apart??

Wasnt didsel or spillage ...

Its happened in various corner various speed over last few weeks .. but only slightly

This time was scary. As if car steering did something completely different to what i was doing.

The back end did not move. Was front ..

Throttle wasnt changed neither was steering input.

Smooth corner steady speed all of a sudden frotn of car pull in tight to corner very quickly so i had to steer other way ..

Felt like wheel camber chamged or soemthing.

Going to check ball joint. And wishbone bushes but cant see it as all new in past 12months.

If was dangerous

Didnt take ling at all press out press new in done.
Far better keeping original gm cast arm better made.

I ordered SWAG bush from germany.

Had no issues

Bush replacement has been done before, but the faffing around time can perhaps be better spent simply fitting a replacement idler...

Which lambda is which

Ah before
Or bg before cat ??

Or does it not matter

quote author=johnnydog link=topic=145579.msg1929932#msg1929932 date=1579357372]
The Bosch lamda sensors for the 2.6 and 3.2 auto are -
9195606 - 0 258 006 387 (AH label)
9199469 - 0 258 006 176 (BG label)

On a manual vehicle, the equivalent for 9199469 is a different sensor so make sure they are as above . The no is also stamped around the head of the sensor.
Hope this helps.

When going around a bend at pace car turns in then kind of slides or pulls it self half way around corner (turns again with no more input) as if something is loose or moved underneath front end and you need to quickly adjust steering.

Terrified me other day. 

Gonna get it jacked up as assess all joints this week but has anyone else had anything similar.


Tyre all all good 1 year old dunlop sport max rt2

Ive removed my mv6 springs few months ago 140k ... fitted brand new eibachs and b4 shocks. Car sits too low for me but its soft also...

Going to get mv6 springs remanufactured .. send mine off as car wasnt low and definetely firmer than the eibachs

Omega General Help / Re: 4 Wheel Alignment settings needed

« on: 16 June 2019, 09:22:10 »

i did laser front wheel alignment on mine few months back when i fitted all new front suspension.

transformed it car drives fab now never been so good.

1mm toe in each side so 2mm total toe in.
1.3 degree negative camber on each front wheel

car drives straight  brakes straight corners great and done 3k now these setting and new tyres and no srubbing or uneven wear to be seen yet.


never touched rear.  i have had cars 4 wheel aligned in past and makes a exceptional difference. (if done right) if done wrong can be worse.

 if car not wearing tyres and happy with how it drives and not messsed with anything on rear i always leave alone and just reset front as that all got messed with.

but ultimately resetting all 4 wheels (correctly) will make a massive improvement.
