No really he did. I always had the problem of when I lower the car it vibrates when accelerating especially when there is more then 2 people in it.Well this guy took off my half shafts, which I told all the dealers to do, and found that my left CV was so stiff. apparently they are supposed to move a bit and mine did not want to. So he ordered a new one, arrived there same day (today), and now its like I just bought it. I hated my car till now. While he was there he also noticed that there was a slight vibration in the exhaust (the baffle was loose) so he replaced that too.Today I am a happy man with a lowered car. So may other dealers wouldnt touch it due to it being lowered.So to those that blame the springs first, get your CV's checked by having them pulled out not just a quick glace and "yep there ok mate".One happy man here.

I had a bit of a battle with ford for a while over a bad vibration. They re balanced the tailshaft so many times it just wasnt funny. I ended up getting a new diff and its all fixed.Now that new diff is knackered. I just want 10000k's where nothing goes wrong.
