Title: Drop Link, Tie Rod & Tracking etc.....
Post by: MikeDundee on 29 December 2011, 16:25:41
Just had a new drop link put on drivers side due to knocking, have went over a few humps, might have done the trick wait and see tomorrow. Also had the tie rod done as last trip to WIM they could'nt free it up. So saturday down to get tracking done and change the front drivers tyre and passenger, thankfuly I have a brand new michelin sitting about so will be another michelin that goes on the drivers side aswell, save a few hundred quid :o

Be interesting to hear if the drop links have done the job as im thinking of replacing the same for the same problem of knocking when driving over bumps  :)

Yes they can make quite a racket when they are worn.
