Ok took my car to Pedders to get the 28 points safety check for $14.

Heres what the report said:

Sway Bar Links = Fail - Noisy (pedders dont supply)
Steering Gear = Fail - boots recommend replace $173 (for 2)
C.V Joits = Fail - LH Boot torn, Requires replacement $208 for 1

Rear
Shocks = Fail - Soft, Lacking Control $406 for 2
Lateral Arms (upper) = Fail - Bushes Soft, recommend replace (pedders dont supply)
Trailing Arms (lower) = Fail - Bushes Soft, recommend replace $238 for 1

Parts $680

Ok... screw pedders!

Ummm.... I just replaced all that for you, including greasing the buses. How the hell can they possibly be 'noisy' LOL

Yeah thats fair enough, we knew those were shot we I put those second hand ones on. They're $50 a pair on Ebay right now.

"Recommend?" LOL. If it aint broke, don't fix it.

I took mine down and they told me about the engine mounts.

They asked if i wanted them ti source and fit and i laughed and said no thanks.

I could imagine the bill for that.
