After 3 mths, I finally recieved my 4 Bilstein shocks today! :D
My rear shocks have been blown 4 ages now.. :(
I took in da car into da workshop today so that da mechanic at work could c how difficult it would b to fit these another day after work. It seemed ok, but da front would b da longest to get out and remove.
The rear tyres were really worn on da inner side, not just because of the rear shocks but too much Negative camber! :shock: No wonder da tyres were scrubin so much!
So a camber kit was suggested aswell to fit front and rear. I spoke to a friend and he reckons I should just get some washes 2 adjust da rear camber, but he's got an Accord so it might b different? Then a proper wheel alignment is needed! ( not da $30 wheel alignment which a dodgy and usually only change da toe, but not camber )
After that there was some bad news. :(
I need a NSF wheel bearing and nut! :shock: So now i gotta spend more money to fix this too! :x
Hopefully when I get da shocks, camber kits and wheel bearin/nut fitted and W/A, then I can really feel how da car can handle! :D
