(First posted on MLR forum in May 2014) I use my Evo every day for work and it’s been faultless until a few weeks ago when, on my way to work, the bottom pulley decided it would rather be in two separate parts! It made quite a thud as the outer part let go and […]
(First posted on MLR forum in May 2014) So after pulling the suspension apart to do the poly bushes, especially as the new ones adjust the caster, I went round and did the wheel alignment the old school way. Also, as a nice surprise, the rear tracking adjustment bolts came free really easy tools: […]
(First posted on MLR forum in May 2014) While checking for any movement in the suspension, prior to MOT time, I noticed a small amount of movement in the pass’ side ball joint. I doubt it would have even been noticed in the MOT but that’s not the point really is it. These don’t come […]
