This Civic type R was in for a calibration due to poor handling and to check for a knock. It transpires the dealer recently fitted a rear anti-roll-bar in order to improve the handling...

The work must have been done on a two poster hence the error, which was in case you missed it, they had fitted the roll bar upside-down which was now resting on the wishbones.

 

Once turned around

It missed the bones and obviously the knocking stopped :)

Drop links looked somewhat distressed too.

 

They usually take issue when I insist on test-driving my work where I am. They seem to see it as a sign of weakness....

 

Their fools... Your validating the repair, that's a professional thing to do.

HoftW has been awful quiet untill recently....

 

I don't get to see as many horrors nowadays due to "off the floor" commitments.... the guys in the centre take HOTW topics in their stride ;)

 

I've missed these threads. You need to leave your old camera in the centre mate so the lads can keep the forum up to date :)
