Thanks, does that mean there's a sensor in the door ?
Why brave ?

Omega General Help / Help, Airbag warning light
« on: 25 July 2010, 20:29:21 »
Airbag warning light recently decided to stay on, have checked with "My Naff Code Reader", shows faults 44 and 81, memory blocks identify "Passenger side, side airbag sensor - Interupted/Not OK"
Anybody know what I should be looking at ?
Have checked wiring under seat and all the way to the side airbag, nothing appears to be wrong.
Is there a separate sensor I should be checking ?
Thanks

Yes, you're absolutely right, one side is a ball joint, the other just a pivot, strange but true.
Drives much better now

OK, finally got to the bottom of this, for anyone who finds themselves in the same situation, the "Lower sports chassis" refers to certain versions of the face lift model only, so if like me you have a pre-face lift model, the commonly available part fits :-)
BTW only £56 delivered from Buypartsby and looks like a quality piece too.

Did you buy a GM one or a pattern ?

Well I can't disagree as I haven't looked at one off of the car, but it sounds very strange as both joints must have to move when the steering is turned ?

No, I'm not sure which one I need, hence the original question...
And of corse they both move, otherwise there would be no point having them :-?

I only need to change it because one of the ball joints has play in it, otherwise it was fine.

It definately has lowered springs, I fitted them. I just need to replace the centre steering arm with the correct one, maybe I should go for the lowered spec arm regardless ? I assume this arm has relocated track rod location points to reduce bump steer with lowered suspension.... Problem is, this arm doesn't appear to be commonly available..

This one states "Except lowered sports chassis", but I still can't see a reason why it's not suitable.

Me neither but the "except lowered sports chassis" thing bothers me....

OK, so it appears that I can't buy the centre steering link from a motor factor for my car, I guess the only option is Vauxhalls, bet that's gonna cost me.... :-(

Can anybody tell me if the '99 MV6 is considered to be the "lowered sports chassis" or what exactly the "lowered sports chassis" is ?
Apparently it makes a difference as to which steering drag link is suitable....
Thanks
