.....waits for Ralph to say "f*ck you peter" lol

Would you not think its warranted???

[PTR_NITRO_FG]

Ok Matt....I will ring up and see if he can sort it. He better still be working there lol

Just gotta hope it will show when he drives it (problem is its only mainly evident on the freeway). Might try the last place one more time just to double check a weight hasn't come off (cause it was pretty much gone when they balanced the front wheels properly, but last night in the wet it was f*cked again and pulling to the left again).

Lets see how my drive in today goes lol

Cheers!

Show us ya full lift arron lol

Gee i thought i was the only crazy one contemplating fitting a hoist to a regular garage

10 points for trying !

My workshop is under the house main roof. Ceiling is 30 courses. Gives enought lift on the hoist for service work,brake/suspension work/trans service etc. Just not ideal for slinging gearboxes etc.

In summary doitfgt.

Good luck. Loose caliper even?

The last car I helped work on had a knocking that turned out to be a loose caliper - scary to think my mate was driving around with a dodgy caliper when he had his family in the car

No not really? Lol I offered him cash and still no go.

I don't know why he dislikes me so much...I'm just too much of a noob and it must press his buttons perhaps?

Or maybe I've overused the PM system with him too many times

All good....I'll leave it alone I guess

Hoist is awesome. Not to good for the territory but great for all the other 10 cars I look after. It goes high enough that I can sit on a rolley seat and work

I will probably eventually put in my back workshop

Thanks dude....yeah hopefully someone is able to pick it up. I would hope not cause I had Hitech Wangara rebuild all calipers and went to ABS Ozzy Park to have rotors/pads swapped over. So unless their Asian mechanic is sh*t...it would have been quite apparent if it was?

Meh...ill still get that Peter guy to have a look over my car....4th opinion cant hurt

[Ralph Wiggum]

Do your jacks extend out to pick up on the body lifting points?

[Tocchi]

Usually a knocking sound on braking OR moving forwards/backwards from stationary. Like a clunk.

You would hope not. Brakes aren't something any amateur should do, yes they are easy for the most of us, but some people shouldn't just do it ... They aren't like an oil change, they are safety related
