Hello again,
i was today in the mg rover service here in Thessaloniki , and we have checked the car, the front and rear upper joint balls should be replaced and all the lower shock absorber bushes and at least it is worth installing the compliance washers !
I will order all these parts from Rimmer Bros and i have to finish the cw's.
They have everyrthing except front lower damper bushes. Maybe i have to order they from somewhere else
I would like to ask which Tool have you used to cut out the shape of the cw's from chopping board of Ikea?
and at least.
And Which inner& outer diameter have these washers to tighten the rubber bushes of the shocks?
Thank you in advance for any help
Thats me finally finished the mod - taken a while as holidays and stuff got in the way.
What a difference, all play now gone. Well worth doing, Thanks Adam:thumbsup:
Hi Alex, welcome to T Bar. Are you sure that it is the suspension bushes, just heard of a case on a TF wher the rear wheel bearings and hub had worn because the shaft nut had come loose, whole rear wheel was wobbling and making bad noises from the rear brakes, new hub and bearings sorted it.
Alex, let us know how you get on.Yes the noises could be bearing and hub. That is true. I wanted to add also that Some knocking noises can be produced on the rear also from the rear brake pads, which are on th end.
I will change it hub +bearing+pads.
Thanks Adam,I decided a while ago that £10 was a lot of money for 4 bits of PVC so I MADE some today! I knew I had seen something I could use but couldn't remember what it was until yesterday in IKEA of all places! Those coloured chopping boards made of flexible PVC are perfect and exactly the right thickness too!
