December 10, 200718 yr #1 On my way to get another mod done this arvo and rolled the T out the driveway and heard a weird noise like I'd just run over a steel grate over a drain. Nope, backed up, it did the same thing, took it around the corner and couldn't see anything under the car. Drove out onto the street then a few clunks later I decided to pop around the corner into a nice quiet street just in case. Something else fell off the front end somewhere banging under the car as I was pulling up from about 40kmh. Couldn't find what fell off, got me stumped where it is, but the front passenger side wheel is rattling around like it's not bolted on, but it is. Waited 3 hours for a tow,,,,WTF,,,,couldn't believe it. Anyway, she's at New Oak Ford now, they'll be checking it out tomorrow. Don't know whether it's got a collapsed ball joint, or bolts fallen out of the control arm or something?? No eyed deer.Will update tomorrow....
December 10, 200718 yr #6 Author ROFL, you know that's the first thing I looked at in the mirror!!!!LOL.Thought someone was havin a go and stuck and aerial under my wheel.
December 10, 200718 yr #7 Author Just got word from Ford.The shims from the wheel alignment fell out! Not a warranty item cos it's aftermarket. Maybe they didn't do them up when I put the new wheels on?? Hard to say considering I've done some twisty's runs in the meantime.No damage at all cos I didn't drive it so that was good. Will cost me $100 or so and pick it up tonight.It was good riding in to work this morning though, may do that more often..
December 10, 200718 yr #8 well there you go! I guess you won't be getting a wheel alignment from that place again huh?
December 10, 200718 yr #9 whats a shim from a wheel alignment? is that the weights they put on the rims?
December 11, 200718 yr #10 whats a shim from a wheel alignment? is that the weights they put on the rims? What hell are the shims for a wheel alignment? I didn't think that they used shims unless it's what XR06T thinks, the wheel weights
