Hi Peeps

Just an update on the bolt..I must say that the handling of the car has improved dramatically...When i wheel spin off the back end doesn't fish tail any more...So new tyres are in order in preparation for this summers fun...

Have you at least checked your bolts???....
Looks a bit rusty in there but its actually solid, the rear tie bars are in good order too...Just needs me to spend some time cleaning off all the oil and covering the exposed parts with paint instead...smile

Although I might have to borrow a fellow Wedge owners two poster...hehe
beer

Big shout out to PK500 for being a top bloke as well as friend.....

I was just checking the rear lower suspension bolt on my 400SE under the car. They look good and I always lubricate them every year anyway. However, I've just noticed that on the 400SE they can be lubricated through the alloy wheel without the need to go under the car. This makes it more accessible for a regular squirt of silicon spray lubrication and the whole section can be reached. A few squirts on the areas through the wheel should keep it rust free, and because the brake discs are inboard, there is no danger of contaminating them.

The edges look new mate...Its just the inners that are on the limit...Booked some fast response at £80 per side so they should leave less rubber when I floor it...smile
