Ouch. Hope your ok. Shame they fold so easily.

 

[craigb244]

oops... what your mates car look like?

 

[clock34]

pretty much the same but his drove away as its a mk6 escort and much larger/heavier.. car wont start (reckon its fuel fut off) inner wing has a slight ripple i think although cant be sure and nothing i ligning up on the front corner. door also sits really close to the bottom of the a-pillar. then a fingre width away in the middle then dead close at the top again. god knows whats caused that but im just going to replace the car instead of the parts too much damage for me to make it affordable atm.

To the original topic -- universal spacers?

 

[clock34]

no mate only had the fiat ones on... if i strip i might find something that was causing this but untill then and seen as ill never know if it was the true cause i think its going to remain a mystery.

I've had someone trying to UNDERTAKE me on a car park before, as I was turning into a space on the left...

As for the wobbling, I had a similar problem a while back with my Cinq. Tried having it four-wheel aligned, having the tracking done, had the wheels rebalanced, new tyres, swapped front to back, new strut top mounts and shocks, new rear bushes AND that rubber block was fine, none of this worked.

Suddenly one day, driving along... it's not there anymore! Dunno why. Hasn't been back since.

Sorry about the car, hopefully the new one is a good un

 

[craigb244]

sometimes the road can cause this problem.
because the centos so narrow it sits on the edges of the groves in the caused by bigger cars.

anyone ever seen the groves on some motorways on the inside lane caused by lorries?
got caught in some before and the car a right handful and scary when trying to get out of them

 

[arc]

try driving round Sheffield (or Blackpool) where the tram tracks are in the road!

 

[BlueDan]

Aye, I always get odd handling at certain places on some roads, but what I had before was sometimes there, sometimes not on the same stretch of road, completely random.

Sorted now, though it would have been nice to know what did it in the end

i think the wobble was caused by a engine mount mixed with dodgy front wishbine bush's so it was rattling the two.
