Flux Capacitor?

LOL, will power cycle it so I can rule it out.

I know the tie rods aren't great and the front suspension is squeaking over speed bumps so shagged out bushes does seem a pretty logical explanation.

Can someone point me in the right direction for new ones?

Also the car is under 3 month statutory warranty, would new suspension bushes be covered? My inclination is that they wouldn't....

If it isnt the tyres I would say the main castor arm bush is shagged, fairly common fault on these barges. Not really something you can check on the side of the road though.

yeah you can; grab the castor arm, give it a yank

An update to this issue, I was doing a tight turn at low speed in a car park yesterday and it started shuddering. I then realised I'd bumped the Synchro button, switched it off, no shudder.

Seems the problem may be in the front drivetrain, any ideas? Also discovered a power steering fluid leak last night, yay more money to spend!

Different wear. How do they look? It doesn't take much to cause issues, a couple of mm can do it.

Perhaps the attessa fluid?

I can't think of much else, yours isn't LSD rear is it?

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same

      The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.

      I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
