[marshy52]

Hi i just wanted to know can driving arms pack in totaly if anyone knows because its going to take the garage 7 to 10 days to get the part in and i would like it to keep going till then cheers.

what do you mean driving arms?

[marshy52]

guy at the garage said something to do with driving arms could have ment bottem arms

[jordyp]

if he meant wish bones, if there bent then your tracking will be way off and give you really bad tyre wear, steering round corners will be a c*nt. if he meant your steering rack arms itl be a fll steering rack replacement, and your steering will be shot, if he means driveshafts, if it snaps youl have no drive, if its bent youl end up poppin it out and it hitting and rippin something off

i guess you mean drive shaft, and they do pack up altogether sometimes, but if you dont thrash the balls of it and just do loads of tootling about you should be fine until you get to a garage.

i found out what part it was it was roll bar brackets anyone know where i could get a hold of them because the garage said they couldnt get there hands on them anymore. and one more thing can they pack in totaly thanks.

go to scrappies mate, and if its the brackets for the bushes then you should get one for next to nothing but if its the ball joint then go to unipart or dingbro if there near you mate, there pretty easy tbh

[marshy52]

can the brackets go on you fully because i was going to run it a bit like that or would they just wobble about cheers.

[jordyp]

tbh i have no idea cause its never done it on me, take a picture of what it is and put it up so i can have a look and il be able to tell you, you might be able to get away wi it just dont hit bumps when your driving and dont put the foot down, you might have bad steering though,

[PRICER]

ahh you'l be alright with the anti roll bar, if you want to try and find one of a diesel corsa they're alot thicker than that on the SRI's and GSI's and if you want bushes then you can get them of ebay, orr you could get polly bushes for the anti roll bar of ebay also.

finaly got the parts i needed me and me dad put them on the knocking on left hand turns have stopped thats done. now one more thing vibration through steering at 55 mile n hour at 60 65 it stops but when i ease of the revs it vibrates again when it gets back down to 55 then at about 45 it stops all together any ideas thanx nothing to do wit the work me and me dad have done because i had the vibration before cheers.

[PRICER]

thats to do with bad wheel balancing, when it gets wobbly and then when you go faster it disappears its the same principle as when a lady sings and hits that exact note that a glass will smash, but if its anything over or anything under it it wont smash, like your wheels any speed over or any speed under it wont vibrate.

[jordyp]

glad you got that fixed, go to any place thats does tyres and get them balanced for about fiver each, my dads jeep needs done badly lol

[marshy52]

thanx i will do that with the tyres. must be the to driver side ones because the ones on the passenger side have been balanced lol
