Default Great bit of PF'ing from RickyLee53

I dont know Rick at all really, only spoke to him a few times on here, but he was talking to me yesterday in my thread about my nova, about some suspension issues that I was having.

My big problem was that the angle of the rose joints on the rear of my car was meaning they were running out of articulation if I tried to raise the steering arms to the point I needed to in order to get the correct angle to induce the right bump steer characteristics.

Ricky mentioned that there is a place near him that sells angled rosejoints.

Well today he has taken a trip out on his lunchbreak and gone down there and bought me some out of his own pocket, without knowing me from adam, and trusting me to send him on the cash etc.

This has helped me out a MASSIVE amount as Ive been looking all over the place for these and havent managed to find any.


Exactly what PF should be all about, people helping each other out



Thanks mate

I saw him trying to help, and was thinking "I'm sure Chips thought of all this, and will get fed up soon" lol.
Glad he kept at it, top bloke it seems
