Afternoon All,
Well, finally finished fitting all 4 coilovers! Got the car to the height I wanted. Got in, started her up and went to drive away only not to move and hear a horrible grinding noise everytime I got to biting point! It's coming from the left hand side. So off came the wheel again, and the drive shaft appears to have popped out. I think it's come off the left and not the right because the left drops down quite a way where as the right doesn't and you have to get spring compressors on to get the strut out the hub. Anyway, there is a reason for this post. .....
Do I need to remove the CV joint so I can pull the suspension away to line it up and slide it back in? Not sorting it until the morning (gonna catch the 2nd half of the footy!) Has anyone else encountered such a problem before? Any advise?
Thanks all,
Ross
