Hey guys i was wondering is it possible to repair the chassis of my EJ8? Because i only just found out that the chassis that is near the front left of my wheel is slightly bent causing it to do little wobbling when i'm doing like over 90km/ph.

Might not be your chassis that is causing the wobbling, should get a mechanic to check it out.

wheel balance.

But your original question, due to new laws chassis rails can no longer to repaired to reach road worthy requirements. Only replacing is now allowed.

Fixing rails is the last thing you want. Try wheel balance first.

Who told you that your chassis is bent?


Balancing, alignment, and make sure your tread has worn evenly too.

nah its not wheel allignment or wheel balance guys because i thought it was wheel allignment in the first place but the mechanic said my chassis is bent abit which is causing the wheel to wobble abit. Also i've just changed all 4 tyres.

How much do you think it will cost to replace the chassis rails?

What do you mean? lol it wasn't his fault. I'm gonna double check at a few mechanics tomorrow see what they say about it. I'll take a photo of the area where it was bent tomorrow and perhaps you guys might be able to help me. Thanks :)

Replacing chassis rail on ej8. Not even worth it.
