Nice one, has it made any difference to the ride/steering?

What made you change them, was it an mot failure or was the ride u/s

:question :question

seems to be a lot smoother, but that might be a physcological thing

i changed them cos one was rattling like hell and it was getting a bit embarassing driving down the road
