Grimsqueaker 1 Report post Posted January 13, 2016 Well that was interesting, Just driving across town and there was a pop from the rear followed by a serious rubbing noise, looked under the rear arch and the shock bottom collar had parted ways and was being forced against the tyre. Luckily there was a brand new rear strut in the boot when I bought the car ( coincidence?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grimsqueaker 1 Report post Posted January 13, 2016 Just looked all over the car (went to spray wd40 on what I expect to be seized) to find three new shocks already fitted, hmmm this is getting interesting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyblo5 17 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 That should ring alarm bells. Shocks should be fitted in Pairs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimsqueaker 1 Report post Posted January 15, 2016 Looking through the paperwork it needed three shocks to pass the last Mot and had the last one as an advisory, guess the previous owner just hadn't got round to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grimsqueaker 1 Report post Posted January 31, 2016 Yeah I can understand that feeling, its pissing down with rain and the nuts holding the hub in place came off easily enough, but getting the bolts out is an entirely different Morphy Richards of haddock, What a pain in the cock this is turning into.
