That should keep Ljay busy for an hour or two then.
Try not to ring your bell too much while she's doing the job mate.
Be a brave little soldier for a couple of hours.
 ;D ;D


 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sure she could manage a cuppa if she was coming in for advice.

Fix my car, look after 2 small boys, nurse a sick (in the head) husband and continue with my usual social activities whilst finding time for work.....if you stick a brush up my ass i'll sweep the floor too!! ;D ;D ;D

not quite sure what I want, any ideas?

much involeved to fit?

guess we are gonna need geometry after too


I fitted new front tierods to both sides (so outer and inner joints) from GSF, parts cost about £40+vat total! I was gonna go with buypartsby but they only had one in stock. I don't know (yet!) about rear tierods... :-/

Guess if you're in a bigger hurry then the vx will have em straight away. And i found with a balljoint splitter the job wasn't too bad, and that maintenance guide bang on!  :y

Of all the jobs I did lately, it was the easiest  but definitely you will need geometry setting up after  :y

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!

Nope, just fit the bit needed.

You need to remove the offending item whilst counting the number of turns required to remove it and then fit the new one to the same amount.....at least that way the tracking should still be pretty much spot on.  :y

Fit a whole section and it will be a mile out!

If you fit the whole part, take it apart first and grease your rod  VERY well before inserting it back into the two orafices one after the other, it needs to go in the same amount for each (not to deep). Nip your nuts up (they dont need to be to tight) or you will damage your threaded rod.

Then its straight out to get your front end re-aligned

how many innuendos in one post? Orifices? rods? inserting? Deep? ooer missus!  ;D;)

 ;D I'm very glad now I fully lubed up my rod before inserting it.
Only had my nuts minorly adjusted to get me back on the straight and narrow  ::) ::) :y

Cheers Mark, that all makes sense, hopefully it still will when I have the bits in front of me!

would setting the whole lot to the same length not give roughly the same results?


Be straight, (well hopefully reasonably straight ;D ;D ;D) to a local alignment place with WIM's printout  :y
