delboy Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 when you fitted the new wishbones the car will be more straight that it was so you need to get the tracking done again as it sounds like it's out. you should not have had it done befor you done the wishbones m8. take it back to the garage where you had it done & say to them it's out & they only done it a short while back & will they rectify it as the car dont feel right don't tell them you done any work on it since it may save you some dosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is going to the right really bad now. I take it everytime you do wishbones you have to get tracking done is this right? Thanks for your help delboy, Paul.

delboy Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 hi m8 sorry i miss read your original post about the tracking. when you do the wishbones it usually tightens all the steering up & makes the car feel better to drive(more responsive). take the car to a tyre garage & have a free check done as they will do that for you kwik fit does. aboiut fitting new w boes i recon you should have the tracking done after as they will set the wheels in a diffrent position as the new parts fit & stay in place unlike the worn ones i would check the track rods for any play as i would have replaced them along with the drop links all at the same time & the (brake disk's & pads if needed). wee that's what i done on mine. get the parts for here www.buypartsby.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
