DKR_77 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 H&R is a fairly common route I've seen other owners go with. Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Beanoir™ Posted January 11, 2016 Founder Share Posted January 11, 2016 Suspension components do wear once the car has done a few miles, well known to be doing track rod ends, ball joints etc at 50k miles plus. Will feel much better after though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
