Re: Suspension Options

Call Noltec in Sydney, they have most of the bushes you are talking about, including the Sub frame ones. I used them in my race car. THey actually make different grades of Nolathane, so ask for the softer ones if you want them to be more like rubber.   After having a guided tour through their factory, and learning how they actually make the stuff, I would never go back to rubber again, or any other brand. Speak with either Greg or David Nolan (Father & Son) they own the business and will look after you. THe bushes are easy to fit....save $$$ and do it yourself.   Mark.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Robyn McCaughan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 15, 2003 1:28 PM Subject: Suspension Options Hi All, Took my car to Pedders (I know, bad me) yesterday for a 28 point check... I knew it needed a wheel alignment and I thought they could shed some light on why it wanders. Current suspension is very stiff, front more so than the back. Blah blah blah, they said it would never be 100% but if I was to replace all bushes with rubber it would certainly help and that my current wheels and tyres (TRX rims wearing 195/55/15 tyres) weren't exactly helping matters. Here's the list of failures and the quote to replace them...  Front shocks $250 ,Front bump stops $87, Rear shocks $148, Subframe mounts $147, Wheel Alignment $60. So including labour of $480 the grand total comes to $1172! Does anyone else think this is a bit rich? Anyway, options? Do I shop around for a better price (any ideas on who else to go to in the ACT, pref Belco but will travel if necessary) or do I get the front end done first and the back when I can afford it...  - Robyn     ninemsn Extra Storage is now available. 30MB of storage on ninemsn Groups - great for sharing photos and documents.
