weird handling, need advise please

[phillheth]

Hi all,

I had to change some wishbone bushes on my 3b s2 for the MOT,

after having got it back it's handing really really strangely.
I can't put my finger on it, and I've not driven it far. but in a straight line
it feels like it's maybe crabbing slightly. the back wheels seem visibly to be toe'd in.
it's possible i'm just imagining that though.

is changing wishbone bushes likely to end up with this problem?
if so, i'll get it back to them to sort out.

or could it just be that having changed the bushes, it's highlighted a problem elsewhere. dampers maybe.

finally, how much would you expect a garage to charge to change the main diff bush?

thanks all.

sounds like it needs to be aligned properly, although changing the bushes only and not the wishbones themselves shouldn't need a new alignment

I would get it 4 wheel aligned if I was you... I guess that changing the bushes might have altered it...

As for fitting guess it depends on how long it takes them... You always pay by the hour these days and not the job!!

Did you put the lower ball joints back in the same place,,,,

Haven't you had the car aligned after changing the bushes?

[phillheth]

I didn't do the work, so i've no idea whats been done really.

as for not getting it aligned. i just needed to get it through the MOT so i could tax it. the car has already hammered my bank balance and I haven't even started yet.

i should also add, that it's not on the road at the mo,
