what have you done to your car today ?

[Rich.T]

Today i replaced both front lower arms and a strut top kit. I'd replaced the other bearing a couple of weeks ago.

Now the steering wheel is at 1 o'clock and the steering pulls to the left.
And going round corners is frightening. It feels like the wheels are pulling against eachother.
So tracking on Monday.

The worst thing is, ive gotta take my missus somewhere tomorrow and its a 50 mile round trip so we'll now be going in her car.
A Fiat 500 diesel! ?

The car sat all weekend it was that bad.
Set the tracking at work yesterday then took it to a local garage for a clutch and starter motor today. Sort of being a little lazy paying someone else to do it but there you go.
Hopefully pick it up tomorrow and re do the tracking.

Had wheel bearing changed and oil pickup pipe cleaned in case it contributed to the turbo failing.

Picked my car up from having its clutch,flywheel and starter motor replaced.
Wandering steering so tracking again tomorrow.
Cost a fair bit but will probably last as long of the rest of the car now.

£807 all in.

 

[Sl1ced]

Thats not too sad... well it is but a fair price for sure. Did you go dual mass or single?

[Rich.T]

Yeh, its dual mass. Just kept it standard.
The car gets an easy life with me so no need to modify or upgrade in that area.

 

[Sl1ced]

I’ve heard single is cheaper but rattles

Drove it properly for the first time not having clunking creaking or knocking sounds. What a treat! Polybushed ARB feels good too, gave my suspension rebound a little increase as I was scrubbing on hard corners. Happy as Larry
