Sodding cars eh. I've just also had new rear discs/shoes and pads since tracking. Now the sodding pads are humming both sides at low speeds. Back to the garage ...

So, solution to camber being out...possible?

I'm confused!! I'm told my camber is out hence outer tyre wear, but had been 4 wheel aligned and no parts have been replaced. What can I suggest to the garage tracking my car?

That's really good to hear

Thanks for this. Just out of interest since everyone in here knows a lot more than me. I recently had a broken coil spring on the front and so had both replaced at my local garage. Is it possible when he was replacing both coils that something else could have been upset to cause this slight knockin...

I had my anti roll bad drop links and arb rubbers checked today. All are in good shape.
Had top mount off one side of suspension as you can feel slight knock when holding hand on top whilst rocking suspension up and down.

Anyone think it could be stabiliser bar/mounts on the arms?

All I see after posting in one line of text. Is there a banner add then?
