jammy Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 car has been pukka since.but the other week i started gettin a bangin sort of rumble under my feet on some road's and also excesive tram lining. the tramlining i put down to goin up to 17 ince rim's.on investigation of lower arm's etc i found nothing that could cause the banging/rumble.after previous eperiance of the mondeo's woe's in life.i decided to check subframe bolt's to see if thay were tight.just for peice of mind but to my horror,i found all 4 bolt's saugnificantly loose :) i got almost 4 turn's per bolt before it was tight again so ive re-alinged with tool and noise has gone but noticed a differance in how the car is behaving .... so presume it has knocked the setting's out abit and could also of been loose when you did it could i get away with a straight 4 wheel alingment or would it be time for another stint on the geo mechine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Blimey .... Some threadlock is required methinks.... Since the handling is impaired then it's Geo time young man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Same problem I had then, that tramlining you refer to, I experienced that on the M25 doing 70mph, I can honestly say it was a brown trouser moment! But then one bolt had come undone by an inch or two You know the story with that bolt but as Tony said the others were smothered in locktite and I also bought 4 new bolts as they're only 6 quid I must check mine this week, been a while since I did...
