Tony Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIH Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
