any noise when u driving and applied load to those side (turn left)

if yes, could be wheel bearing.. they are inside the hub, need special tool to press them out and replace with the new ones or buy used hub from wrecker (u dont know the condition of the used ones)

all up to u.. I've got a quote for $300 to replace the front left wheel bearing (drive in drive out)

hope this help

If your bushes and suspension rubbers have all been replaced then its definately a wheel bearing. If its that bad your wheels going to fall off soon - mechanic shouldnt of let it out of the shop.

If you turn the wheel all the way to the left or right and hear a big clunk whilst going over corners/bumps etc. its your balljoint - you really need this to steer otherwise the wheel will be flopping about, probably fall off also

Both are really cheap and easy to fix. Get a balljoint & balljoint tool and a wheel bearing kit from supercheap etc. If in doubt replace them both

    • It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair
    • The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol
    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
