Steering Problem.

[R DIRTY 3]

This is regarding an R33 GTST.

I have a client if you will, who has the above mentioned car. The owner purchased a set of coilovers from me on Tuesday afternoon. Fitting the coilovers was to be completed tonight by the owner (Ryan "SKYRYAN") and his offsider (Karl "inthisglass").

So i was at a pub having a few drinks when my phone rang. It was said offsider, who i will not name *cough* (Karl), who rang me with a dilemma they were having with the vehicle. I was told that the car was on axle stand but they were stuggling as there was a problem with the steering.

The conversation went similar to this........

OFFSIDER: "Brad should the steering be really tight when the car is jacked up?"

ME: "not really...how tight is it"

OFFSIDER: "It wont turn easy"

ME: "No, it should be fairly free, have you got the steering lock off?"

OFFSIDER: *yells* Ryan, wheres your car keys"

Small voice in the background: "over there"

Phone conversation goes silent......awkward pause.

ME: "good night, have fun!"

Laughter all round!

Maybe best to look for the simple solutions first before you rely on the help of an expert who will post your stupidity up on a public forum!

Ryan and Karl, you are idiots! :D :P :P

Im sure Ryan and Karl would love to hear your thoughts of this situation in this thread

BARD, YOU must have had a few more drinks than your thought.

i asked you if the the wheels were meant to be hard to rotate NOT TURN

we had the rear jacked up and when we were putting the wheels back on the diff felt like it was getting tighter the more we spun the wheels forward

rysies is worried that his diff is farked and said to call you for your words of wisdom

in the end we got the coilovers in, with no other problems and skyryan is now slammed on its hole

[SKYRYAN]

LOL Bard has a hearing fail.

Was wondering how difficult it should be to turn the rear wheels

Possibilities:

Handbrake on?..

He has a fan-dangle'd LSD which could do it...

Calipers tight on the Rotors...

It was in gear, you were cranking the engine...

Calling a suspension expert about diffs? LOL brad aint god =P

Nobody is that stupid

But I'm sure he has spun a few rear wheels while the cars are jacked up, yeah?

Don't make me come lack-band your arse, Terry.

[inthisglass]

I was wondering what Brad was smoking when Karl told me Brad said there is a steering lock...

[SKYRYAN]

Oh well, it's on it's arse now.. it's firmer than karl at the strippers last night... and damp roads ftmfw!

[Tezzah]

Unlikely, he is in sales...

All brake pads will be pressing against the rotor's by default, some more then others.

I don't suppose you noticed if both wheels were spinning?

If they both were spinning, was it in the same direction, or different directions?

If only one was spinning, i'd be more worried about that.

[bubba]

I think the moral of the story is:

A) don't expect a correct answer from Bard.

B) don't rely on Karl to be the go-between.. all he's good for is being between your cocks.. pig on a spit stylez

[inthisglass]

look guys, we were naked, not really enough blood flow to the brain at that point in time..

[SKYRYAN]

Guess what we used for car stands

[Tezzah]

different directions

thats a good sign.
