does this look right?
« on: 29 July 2009, 17:55 »
just noticed today that both sides sit like this and move about when steering wheel is moved is this normal?  I had new top mounts done for mot and hadn't noticed this before

What level of ground was this pic taken on? Was it on a slope or anything?

I would see what it looks like on flat ground with the wheels straight as Mikesters looked a bit funny but was fine after we looked at it on flat ground with the wheel straight :smiley:

They are not normal, whether lowered or not.
They are worn out, and need to be replaced.

Mine and alot of other people here have that happening with lowering.

Does it creak and knock when turning?
