thats a strange one!, somethings not right somewhere, everything should sit in place, take a look at the shock if its bending towards the car, im not sure, have u changed anything like the anti roll bar/bottom arms?

rsbabe666

no we took off anti roll bar, track control arm, bottom ball joint and arm - drivers side
passangers side - bottom arm
just cant seem to work it out?

GrimmeRS2K

anti roll bar centrallised beneath the front panel?,

need a picture up really

rsbabe666

sorry dont have that function ive just had another look and noticed the other is sitting a bit too foward could it be that and how hard is it to centralise up?????? would i then in turn need tracking done?

GrimmeRS2K

having taking all those parts off, its best to get the tracking done

rsbabe666

if i take it for tracking will they be able to diagnose a problem??????
they normally just grunt and say stupid things!!!!!!! and if there is a major problem they wont be able to track it anyway would they>?????

GrimmeRS2K

i would start again, take everything off and refit again

rsbabe666

yeah i suppose thats the only thing i can do!!!!!!
thank you for your help???????

this happened on my s2

was the anti roll bar not centralised in the front mounts. it happens if u bolt the front up b4 the bottom arms go in, thus nuthin to centralise it. mine was only out by a small amount, n my wheels sat all over the place.

undo the mounts, drop it dwn, check it 4 centre, bolt it bk up, take it sumwhere and hav it tracke,d and all shud b gd
