Hi all,

Can anyone recommend any garages in or around Brisbane area.

I need to get my rear wheel bearing changed.

I already know of Mercury Motorsports and Allstar Tuning Systems.

Just want to do a bit of shopping around.

Also would anyone recommend going to any of the known chain garages like Midas etc to get the rear bearing changed?

Thanks

Thanks for the advice guys. I called up Mercury and they were useless as they would not come back to me even after I called them back the second time.

I was after a place which knew what they were doing and had a good price. Midas gave me a very rough estimate as they would need to carry the work out first in order to see how long it would take, when others were quoting how long it will take and cost.

I ended up booking with Fulcrum as they had a reasonable rate and seem to know what they are doing.

Standard practice for them. I did notice through facebook that NITTO made an appearance at the downshift dyno day. Still owned by them, however used to have mercury stickers all over it and now not one to be seen

      No engine fan = quieter getrag ???

      By Butters · Posted

      Saw this video today from Adam LZ.    Long story short is he is claiming that the load from the engine fan once the fan clutch heats up(engaged) is increasing the getrag rattle(at idle) when you don't have a dual mass flywheel.  Before I go buying an electric fan setup .... Anyone heard of this ?    I must admit when my car is cold the getrag is pretty quiet and I do notice the rattle after it is all warmed up. I've always assumed this is due to the gearbox oil temp and tolerances of metal.

      Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.

      Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
