FTO AUSTRALIA

Just have a look at the spring...

derp.

Hi, What am i supposed to be looking for when i look at the spring and the same noise happens once its clunked when turning right and then when it straightens up

This has been driving me mad please help !!!

Steering shaft?

I found the Problem it was the top strut mount so ive turned it 180 for a temp solution and it doesnt knock YEYEYEY

If that is stuffed get a new one they don't cost much!! Is there play in the bearing?

Was it lined up correctly to start with? Probably not. The 2 little holes should always line up...

They were slightly off and the top mount has slight play so i think bearings have gone

I personally have copped it myself it's from not lining up the upper spring grommet with the spring causing it to catch.

HELP!!!
My pasenger side inner CV joint has had the dick, I need to find a new one.
I feel I should change both inners and outers while I am there.
I have found the $39 outer CV from Auburn, I phoned them and they don't have new inners, they can do the new outer and rebuild the inners for $200 a side with me removing the shafts and taking them in and waiting around for the day.
Any better suggestions?

I just replied to your other thread lol.

$200 a side is daylight robbery. I use an asian guy: Sydney Driveshaft

Retail, he's $90 a side... and he delivers for a small fee. They replace the outer CV, rebuild the inner. Plus give the shaft a coat of paint

Thanks Bennoz

No worries

Don't forget to pay cash, if you use a card he has to charge GST

Just phoned him and he can do them $90 a side, I can take them in the morning, hang around somewhere for the day and pick them up in the afternoon. I will take them this Saturday (if I can get them out Friday after work) or next Wed-Thur as I have holidays the end of next week.
Again thanks Bennoz I knew you would come up with the best solution

He's pretty quick, was only an hour turn around to do my 2

And the Kings Park Tav is just around the corner

Your Shout?

I'll be home on Sat, playing cars. Only live 3 mins from the driveshaft guy too..

Hmmmm, sounds tempting

I know...........I could drive the FTO down, take out the shafts at yours, get TURBO driven to the shaft place, get them fixed while mowing your lawn, get TURBO driven back to yours, put them back on, drive FTO home

That pic makes me cringe no stands under the car. After seeing how these jakes flod up on them selves I would never use one again.
Yes I know the rim is under there but it's still not the same.

The local suspension shop did that when they put my Tein coilovers back together after the Fulcrum rebuild, they didn't line my two holes up. My steering was clunking, when I asked what the prob could be they told me upper bearings. Took me bloody ages (near to a year) to work it out and rectify it.
