Good question infact - that was my first thought when they told me the driver side bearing was shot, but to pay the labour cost twice wasnt worth it, so replaced the shocks as the well as i got them at a good price. They only had to replace the one side as the passenger side was perfectly fine.

UPDATE Had both front shocks replaced on Friday. Replaced them with Sachs shocks. When they removed the struts they checked the strut mountings and discovered the driver side mounting bearing was worn(Thanks Grober for advising to check the mounting bearings :thumb:) had this replaced as...

Did you replace the top mounting bearing as well?

Thanks 190, im having the shocks replaced in the next week or 2, ill post the outcome!

Thanks, do you guys sometime replace the strut mounting Bearing as Grober suggested?

No Probs Grober, appreciate the help you given!

ive read the reviews about Chipex and many have complained about the shade of colour is slightly off. I know many of these products try their best to match the colour closely and have so many contributing factors to take into consideration ie the age of the paintwork etc. Chipex was the first...

Totally agree, but i have some other spots around the car, that i would like to touch up as well.

Hey Guys, Just wondering if anyone on has used Dr ColourChip for any stone chip and other chips. I have a few chips on the bonnet, dont want the exorbitant prices of body shops to repair the chips. Looking to order a colour pack from Dr ColourHhip but wanted to know if anyone has used this...
