Mrs kempie needs to get herself a mk3 i think... :grin:

Mrs Kempie needs to learn to drive first lol! Not with baby brain though! It'd be disastrous! :P



He said it's just a case of un-doing some bolts then doing some more up, I assume he's right Trog? :)

Haha, that I do Gav! That I  do!

Right, the car & wishbone are very close to being thrown across the street. He can't get the old one off because there's a bolt he can't reach? Seriously, I will pay in like tea or something if someone can help >.<

It's cool! Found a garage that's willing to actually fit it & not charge an arm & a leg to order one in etc. :)

So, after all that - nothing wrong with any of the suspension arms, nothing is bent - just the tracking is off. And that can't be done yet because one side of the car is higher than the other :P

Going back to my pregnant lady phase - is it safe to drive if the tracking isn't done yet? Turns out, it's just the tracking thats buggered after all that, but his suspension is higher on one side than the other, and he's struggling with changing that right now. But he's took the car to work with him so he doesn't have to get the bus...

Is it alright?

If its just one wheel that is higher then that is a bit of a problem, but not really serious.
Bad tracking will just scrub the tyres, so looking a buying new tyres sooner than he should have done.
