discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 7m 17d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 22/06/14 10:55 AM Share Posted 22/06/14 10:55 AM (edited) Tyre fitters...I knew they would rattle gun the wheel nuts back on (I torque them up by hand every single time they go back on at home) but when I washed the car today I noticed one set of nuts poking further out than they should.Seems they don't know the FPV rims are staggered. I now have two rears on the left side and two fronts on the right. Offset fail. Directional tread means I can't fix this. At least they didn't hit my freshly painted calipers as far as I could tell. Gonna hit them up when doors open tomorrow morning >_>Also filled about 40 stone chips on the front edges of the car, couple on the panel faces as well. That's life at 234,000km.

Doubt I'll get the impending alignment done there. Probably go straight to the top, WA Suspension. Got a fulcrum bush for them to have a look at anyway.

And you find some even bigger mistakes..sensational f*cking mess.. 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81368-the-whats-piing-you-off-thread/page/976/#findComment-1480468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
