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

Heres what the report said:

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.

LOL in general. There is no possible way of telling that without removing them.

What a joke.

haha i went for one of those on a saturday and they even forgot to ask me to pay the $14!

and he said i needed a whole new rear hub assembly.

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.
