Tony Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 The cars complaint was tyre wear nothing more, during our precalibration checks we found a slightly defective wishbone? How anyone could drive the car and not notice the scary handling defies logic..... Also note how the bushing hole has been elongated and the damaged area where the wishbone and it's cradle have been metal to metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
