Hi peeps, iv changed the wishbones , top all joints and Subframe brackets. Put it all back together and looks fine but took it out for a little drive and getting a few clunks when turning the wheels. Any ideas? Is it just settling in perhaps?
Thanks

Hi peeps, front end of my sunstorm is now stripped and new wishbones are on. Now I'm going to replace the front upper ball joints. Do any of you know what size socket I need or have any advice please. Both hubs are off the car.

Sunstorm now off the road
Last month my bottom ball joint went on me and had to be recovered home. It's now sorn off road and stripping it all down at the front and changing all ball joints and generally refreshing the car. Long old job but hoping to get her back on the road in the next 4 months. Then will possibly sell.

Re: Replacing wishbones
Is taking the subframe out a hard job to do or is it just time consuming? Many thanks

New clutch
Hi peeps, my clutch biting point is at the top of the pedal and it started to slip Friday so iv booked it in to we love Mgf's just around the corner from me. Now quick question, will it be the clutch or will the release arm have a part to play in it?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Re: Gutted!
Could be. It won't be easy finding a front passenger side wing in starlight silver. Plus don't want it to look odd.
