Flux Capacitor?

LOL, will power cycle it so I can rule it out.

I know the tie rods aren't great and the front suspension is squeaking over speed bumps so shagged out bushes does seem a pretty logical explanation.

Can someone point me in the right direction for new ones?

Also the car is under 3 month statutory warranty, would new suspension bushes be covered? My inclination is that they wouldn't....

If it isnt the tyres I would say the main castor arm bush is shagged, fairly common fault on these barges. Not really something you can check on the side of the road though.

yeah you can; grab the castor arm, give it a yank

An update to this issue, I was doing a tight turn at low speed in a car park yesterday and it started shuddering. I then realised I'd bumped the Synchro button, switched it off, no shudder.

Seems the problem may be in the front drivetrain, any ideas? Also discovered a power steering fluid leak last night, yay more money to spend!

Different wear. How do they look? It doesn't take much to cause issues, a couple of mm can do it.

Perhaps the attessa fluid?

I can't think of much else, yours isn't LSD rear is it?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
