Thanks Marks_DTM
« on: 07 January 2007, 17:14:59 »
Change a front wheel bearing for me today, old one had 'a bit of play' in it.  Also tightened the play in the steering box.

So a public 'Thanks' to you Mark :y

No rumbles from the front, so a result there :), and also the steering wheel felt more connected to the car, so I'm a happy boy :D

I don't think its quite sorted the strange handling - that bit along A46 after straight bit, there is a sweeping right a mile or so before roundabout, went round there to test it at xxxMPH and it started to step out, almost as if tyre was a little flat.  Would that be due to that other suspension problem you found?  Also, still a tendency to wander sat on the M1 at 85mph...

Possibly, but the right sweeper on the A46 was most definately not wind (well not that kind anyway!).  There is a problem with the rear suspension which is likely cause...

Woudnt mind betting the weird handling is down to rear subframe mountings(donuts) being sloppy!!!

Possibly. More likely to be the broken spring though....  ::)

If he goes about 75 (can a 2.2 go faster?), his mum blames me for his faster driving  ::)

The way that got to 80, I suspect it goes at 80+ quite frequently ;)

(Must be when Mrs AA drives it ;))
