ball

Right... Not sure where this goes, but as its a suspension issue (I think) I'll put it here. Just came back from the MOT station; wasn't too pleased. While I waited (too long) 2 cars went through, and they both failed. Third time lucky? Not a chance. My lovely gal failed her MOT for the first...

I have been told by my stealer that my bottom ball joints and castor bushes need replacing. Is there an all knowing person who can steer me in the direction of a capable person to do this where I dont need a mtge. I dont mind having a day out to get the job done properly. Any suggestions.

My W210 T Model (E220 CDI Avantgarde), first registered December 2001 and now due its second MOT. Having completed 47740 (genuine) miles since new, full MBSH, last service at 43531 (July 2005); I thought this car would easily make its MOT. :eek: I was rather surprised (and a little...

I had a weird feeling/noise appear on my c class (w202) when on or near full lock. It had been doing it since I bought the car but had got worse in the last few weeks :( . No noise over pot holes though :confused: . I decided to check for any play anywhere and couldn't feel a lot but there was...

Can anyone give me a method for checking the front suspension ball joint play. I know in the MOT test they raise the front suspension arms by jacking them up with the wheels still on the ground but I'm not sure exactly what they look for? Do you look for movement as you are jacking up or when...

This is basic engineering, and unsuprisingly it has defeated me…. :o I have a seized 2.2 Mercury outboard. I have stripped it and have a couple of questions: Onto my questions: 1) Anyone know a bearing shop that can provide obscure Japanese ball bearings? (‘Koko’ make) 2) I need to...

I'm just posting to find out if anyone has experience of replacing the lower ball joint/ wishbone suspension arm on a W124. Mine snapped in a pub car park about 200 miles from home. (The suspension and steering had started to groan about 100 miles into the journey). I've left the car and got...

I,m going to replace my bottom ball joints hopefully today,Any tips on how to get them apart as i belive they can be a B******* to crack ?

Has anyone used the lower ball joints/suspention parts that GSF sell? I’ve just fitted one of their steering dampers (sachs) and am thinking about replacing the lower ball joints and a few other suspension bits. The reasons I am thinking of changing the parts are the car has always had a few...

My brothers got a wicked video of the 2003 cannon ball run video through Europe. Woundered if anyone here has wathched it and what they thought? :confused:

Blimey what a load of snow. I sailed out of London at 1000hrs today, but got stuck on A2 at Dartford :mad: . The traffic was stop / start and I was in the outside lane, as I was perusing the scenery I noticed how wet and shiney the road looked. Then it dawned on me, it was pure sheet ice I...
