how accurate is a pedders suspension check?

[er34]

hey guys, i still havent got my suspension problems sorted out yet

problem: car skips around on small bumps when going straight and oversteers alot in corners with light throttle

i thought it was the rear shocks but took it to pedders and they said the shocks were fine??

i've got stock shocks and stock springs and i cant think of what other reason it could be?

btw, my question is whether a pedders check is accurate? he said the shocks were fine but i dont know if he's right as the back end skips like crazy on bumps on the road. i can also feel that the back is alot harder than before.

i've done 4 wheel alignments so far from different places and still havent fixed the problem

taking it to a suspension specialist tomorrow to see if they can get it sorted.

Try Heasmans (Sydneham) Whiteline (Minto) or East Coast (Kirrawee).

If pedders are saying nothings wrong, thens theres a fair chance there isnt. If there is something wrong, then Id get a 2nd oppinion.

Out of interest, whats your tyre pressure like?

hope to get this sorted out

went to heasmans steering today

found out that the rear right spring wasnt sitting in the mount properly (180 degrees other way) and thus raised the right rear side by about 1.5 cm.

its amazing how no one else saw this when checking the car..

anyways, he said it could be the reason for the "roll oversteering" problem i have

getting it fixed tomorrow and hopefully will be the end of that.

top service over there and they really know their stuff

didnt even charge me today =)

OMG you'd think that'd be obvious yet there are alotta idiots out there, then there are people who actually take pride in their work.

Good on ya mate glad you got it fixed.

You realise that you can take this further?

When Pedders give you the yellow copy of the report they're saying that the car is roadworthy and that it is safe in their EXPERT opinion.

Disgraceful.
