GTA advice

[fin]

Hi,

The GTA got thru it's MOT with the following advisory.

1) Nearside rear Macpherson strut has slight movement at the upper attachment.

2) Offside rear Macpherson strut has slight movement in the upper support bearing assembly.

One other thing, the offside rear tyre is a bit warped, coincidence or related to the above?
Not being a mechanical whizz kid I'd appreciate any comments or advice.

Thanks

Tyre wear is related to the above.

Get 2 new rear trailing arms (the struts they are on about and proper ones not copies)

Here you go

Hi, thanks for that. Yes, I've owned the GTA since April this year. I've driven Alfa's since 1993. I've never been interested in working on cars but I do look after them well. I see you're in Edinburgh. Do you use Stewart McLennan in Loanhead?

If you'd like to point me in the direction of the GTA website, I'd be grateful.

Cheers

Well, since I've been going to Stewart for nearly the last 20 yrs, I think you can assume I'm a fan!

Aside from sorting your suspension don't forget to clean, regrease and test your bonnet release catch!

Yeah, no worries, this is my 3rd 156. Hopefully I'm wise to that particular problem.
