steering  idler
« on: 29 February 2008, 15:06:48 »

Hi all,
had the car up on the lift at work today, to investigate where some oil had come from. while up there i done a quick once over and found that the nearside idler bush is fkd so much so that i can wobble the wheel from left to right about 30 degrees or so. is this an expensive part to buy, i can easily enough do the job i reckon, but need to know best place for parts. at the same time i may well change the wing over and possibly even do the springs on the front
im starting to see a bit of a pattern emerging, and i think that it may have had a bit of a hit on the ns front before.

the front springs are irmishcer (no idea if thats spelt correctly?) as they have it written on them. they appear to be lowered, the rear is using stock bits i believe as it sits higher than the front.

any advice on what to do?

Regards
Nathan
