hey all, an update.
one of the front bushes has totally disentegrated, meaning the whole front end is out of wack, noticed this today when i was getting the tyres done.
Called up suppliers, they are replacing them under warranty, should get the new set on friday, they will reimburse labour, alignment pretty much all costs associated with the bush failure....
the front end was rattling like a mo fo and once the car had been lowered off the jack at the tyre place the steering wheel was atleast 20deg off centre...
its a hassle but thanks to some good suppliers i should be sweet soon
