Well, I didn't have any issues with my car other than the odd knocking noise which didn't really bother me. I thought it was time to do my timing belt as the car was at 62K so I booked it into a local garage I trust and had the timing belt kit and also the water pump changed at a cost of £300.
I asked them to look at the knocking noise and they came back to me saying my front left suspension strut is leaking and also the rear wishbone is also broken.
What is the rear wishbone? Just a mount?
I also have two tyres that need replaced (Shows how much I check them) and also my alignment done as the tyres are only worn at one side... so now I'm thinking... should I just bite the bullet and get a set of coilovers and this worn bush or wishbone and have the garage fit the parts and sort out my alignment... or just get the strut and wishbone replaced.
What are these poly bushes? Are they worthwhile or more expensive than normal ones?
Last thing also is I beleive I'll also need new droplinks (For coilovers) - how much do these cost and which ones do I need?
Thanks guys
