so the soarer is fwd sedan now?

sure they even looked at your car?


did they mention anything else?


i'd personally go to a real suspension place and get it looked over...

and there are places that dont even charge and tell you like it is...

sorry but im not a fan of franchise stores other than fast food places

i use suspension city in north melbourne, the dont align, but Damien will tell you straight up, and he has more than 20years in the game himself, he has seen it all and can help... he also does work for lots of peddders rebuilding leaf packs etc... cos they dont do

Thanks Andrew, guess i'll visit suspension city sometime next week!

Also i dont have any squeaking sound when going over bumps or turning!

Except i get steering wheel vibration / shudder when travel over 100km/h!

firstly

got std wheels?
no

i'd get them balanced 1st
$20 max

then
if problem persists

have you got hubrings?
they fit on the hub to make it a tight fit like the stock wheels

get them next

lastly
i'd get hold of a stock soarer rim and try that!


i have 20's, i have the same shudder problem, more so at lower ride heights...

BUT... when i put on the factory 16"tt rims i have it's GONE!!


i also have new rack bushes and control arm bushes etc...

could be your shocks

I have the toyota aristo wheels +50 offset.

I had booked in at Bob Jane to get the wheel balanced on next Friday and cost $30.

I dont have any hub rings and i'll see if i can find some TT 16"rims to borrow!

You know any good workshop that can check the shocks?

As i got some second hand Bilstein shocks fitted late last year to replaced the air struts.

suspension city deals in bilstein, but if youve replaced the shocks i doubt that will be the cause...

but get 2nd and 3rd opinions

i once went to pedders up my way in my old val... approx 80% new suspension balljoints and some new rubbers etc...


they thought i was a wood duck and told me the car was rooted.... and i needed to spend something like $1950 for a complete overhaul... which included replacing the recently replaced brandnew parts... LOL wtf

Just replying to your email now.
As most will say though, the front ball joints cannot be replaced
