Title: WISHBONES DONE YESTERDAY..
Post by: MikeDundee on 26 June 2008, 07:18:59
Well, Timbuk and me got the wishbones done on the cdx yesterday morning started at 10.30 finished at 1.30, the first one went in OK, was a paing aligning one of the bolts.....so thanks to Timbuk, down to wheel power this morning for 2 new back tyres and get the geometry done at the same time.

Some pics;

Are the disks on the right way round, I thought the groves were designed to take dust and heat away from the disk, they look as if they take the dust towards the hub.  :question

I asked the same question when fitted ::)...the response was; I used to work as a mechanic on rally cars and worked with one of those brake disc companies on design of discs and this is the best way to fit them :y
