get your bump steer checked. it could be that you have excessive bump steer, which is altering your toe angle dramatically when you hit a bump, or have body roll when turning.

also get your steering rack mounts checked to make sure there isn't any excess movement in that.

but i put a set of cheap falkens on the missus pulsar and has worn them out in about 5000kms. admittedly it is fwd and cops a bit of a hard time, and needs a bit of a wheel alignment, but they tyres i had on before these ones lasted longer, gripped better and took more punishment than the falkens have.

Thanks y'all for the replies.

I dropped in to the suspension shop today and gave them the reports from the two Jax stores. They rechecked my alignment and got completely different settings.

It seems that the inner ball joint on the lower control arm needs replacing. It rocks ever so slightly when the wheel is turned.

Would this be consistent with inconsistent alignment figures?

Any thoughts on cost to replace?

I got prices from Nissan for my Series 2 Stagea (WC34) inner and outer ball joints for the lower control arm.

Inner ball joints (part# 40160 AR510) $112.75 ea - ex Japan 3 weeks

Outer ball joints (part # 40160 05U00) $164.65 ea - in Stock

Should I have the the outer ball joints replaced as well?

Does anyone know if there is a comparable non genuine replacement product?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
