After A Southside Steering Mechanic

[Ziggeh]

Hello people, I’m a forum newbie and also a fresh skyline owner.

I have a few problems that I need to get fixed with my steering that I don’t trust doing myself, so I’m after a good mechanic? (I don’t have all the money in the world though willing to pay good if the quality is there)

I live on Brisbane Southside and own a 1988 Nissan Skyline R31 GXE, I’ve noticed that the steering is a little heavy along with some actionable pull to the left or right while driving straight. I suspect there is a some play in the joints around the wheel and also hear a clunk (Some where around the lower mounting of the front left shock) when hitting speed bumps.

Any Suggestions or recommendations with be muchly appreciated!?

Try Goodyear Mt Gravatt. Logan Rd.

Owner. Phillip Morris. They might do that. I just got them to do my alignment.

My Dad is a mechanic with about 30 years experience, and has a home-based workshop, and he's a wheels/tyres/suspension expert. He did heaps of work on my R33 so isn't afraid of newer stuff either, and is about as honest/ethical as you're likely to find

We are not allowed to say bad things about workshops for fear of banning so I won't say this.....but whatever you do, don't take your car to Charlies! There you go, you've been warned.

Marc's dad sounds like the way to go. Marc is an honest bloke so I would assume his dad is twice as honest at least.
