need an answer to this quick:

Took my car to Beaurepairs to get my front wheels balanced! they finished and when I went out the guy tells me that one of my $250 kics nuts has been threaded and same as the stud on the spacer. Is there anything I can do? He told me they were hard to get off so he had to get them off by hand and it was f**ked already....

do NOT accept this.

look for signs of scratching on the nuts and see if they used the gun and then call head office and complain

tell them you EXPLICITLY directed them not to use a rattle the gun and they did due to nothing but laziness.

you want a new set of kics nuts or the $350 (retail) to replace them. also a new stud or spacershould be paid for

just go HARD

annoying knocking noise coming from one of the rear coilovers what does that mean? no leaks as far as i can see...

chek your bushes? Mine made knocking noises from the front due to worn rosejointed bushes

Give the tops and crack with a spanner.

Do you have a rear strut bar? That could have come loose.

Wheel nuts..

you mean tighten the tops? they are..

no rear strut bar

wheel nuts are fine

old coilovers were a bit noisy but that was coz i had removed the helper springs and compressed the springs. these HKS ones are louder

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
