hi guys

Just had new wishbones/bushes and ball joints fitted today. It has solved my issue of pulling on acceleration and does feel tighter. However i feel ALOT more through the wheels even slight imperfections make the wheel wobble fair bit. Do they just need settling in, maybe im not use to it as my bushes before were badly worn apparently.

I also think tracking is out of wheel seems to want to go right but they said just to bring back if tracking is off.

So guess im asking is this normal and do they need to settle in ?!

Get your tracking sorted ASAP, even hitting a cats eye threw mine right off (as the wheels were facing different directions).

I shredded a set of tyres in 500 miles without realising it...

you will need the tracking to be re-set after fitting new suspension parts up front Smile

I take it would explain the slightly uncomfortable steering when going over bumps/imperfections ?!
