hi guys,

would like some help with following components that are failing on the car, would like suggestion/advice for replacement parts, be it genuine or aftermarket bits..

front:

LH upper balljoint has play

RH tie rod ends has play - suggestion to replace both sides

Rack mounts worn - require replacement

Rack knocking, LH boot broken - requires replacement

rear:

lower shock mount bushes fatigued/splitting - requires replacement

sway bar bushes fatigued - recommend replacing d+link bushes

brake pads 40% and rotors undersized - thinking of getting the K750 from groupbuy with braided lines.. rotors?? DBA?

car is also currently tramlining with tein coilovers fitted but will have wheel alignment/balances after the above parts are replaced..

found these traders with suspensions parts, only problem, im not sure if the parts listed are same as the ones required, different names etc, new to suspension parts

front:

LH upper balljoint has play.

It is not a ball joint. You need a replacement bush kit try Noltec, Nolathane & Whiteline.

RH tie rod ends has play - suggestion to replace both sides

Rack mounts worn - require replacement

Rack knocking, LH boot broken - requires replacement

These three are all one. Get it fixed as one.

rear:

lower shock mount bushes fatigued/splitting - requires replacement

Shouldn't be hard. Find someone with either a good shock or a bush. There are Tein distributors in Australia. Check in with them.

sway bar bushes fatigued - recommend replacing d+link bushes

Again, not hard. Just about any half decent auto parts palce can sell them to you.

The pivots get put in the ball joint column in catalogues but technically they aren't a ball joint. They don't usually wear out, they are big suckers. You can tighten them, maybe have them try that first if they haven't already.

Aftermarket is OK, get a good brand like Roadsafe, OEM or 555

Pedders have Roadsafe

Rack mounts worn - require replacement

I would use polyurethane replacements, Fulcrum 07 3892 9000 have them

Rack knocking, LH boot broken - requires replacement

The rack free play is adjustable, try that first.

These three are all one. Get it fixed as one.

We can supply polyurethane bushes, but for not much more you can upgrade the swaybars which come with new bushes for free. PM me for details

Cheers
