I don't know about you, but this doesn't look particularly seized to me?
*video*


Not seized.

Did you ring them?


Show them the video and ask them to point out the EXACT faults.
;)

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

If someone tried that shit with me I'd have a ball playing with them.



Pricks like that are the ones who give the trade a bad name.

There ya go! I didn't think there was a problem, aside from a dumbarse dodgy prick trying to squeeze money out of you.

Looks like it's performing well.

Yeah fair call. Thing is, they usually know what they're doing with tyres and they're in the same business park as dad's business so they get alot of our business. Suspension mustn't be their forte!

I think I'll still do a regrease of all 4 before too long and see if that gets rid of any creaking!

Regrease is definitely a good idea! You will be surprised how much difference it makes!

Worst part is taking the springs off!!

Just curious morgs, did you just tape your camera under the car?

BWS, You sure it is the billies that are creaking and not dry bushs on the swaybars?


Could be! Thanks, might give them a check on the weekend.

Hi,

Has time to mount goPro underneath his car, go for a drive, edit, upload video.

Too busy for a phone call.

Cheers,

Can't show video footage over the phone!

I could rant and rave but ultimately, I haven't bought anything so it's pointless...

Start three threads where you ask vague questions, and answer them yourself unknowingly whilst ranting....


Watched vid. Looks good to me. As Adam suggests, regrease them just because you're OCD :)

Half a day at most.

i wouldn't think it would cause too many alignment issues.

Just regrease when you can't take the noise anymore!
