Try hank shcumaker steering and suspension on i think industry road. Knows old acrs, does a good job. I used to go to him but getting time off from work at toowong and getting to brownsplains and back is hard.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

Have you trailing arm and steering rod Ball Joints tested and checked for wear before you spend the money on getting your wheel alignment
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Hank will normally tell you if they are worn send you away to get new ones, without charging. Hes normally pretty good.

yeah thats good if he does that but to change the trailing arm ball joints you have to remove the trailing arm and use a 25 ton press to push them out n re fit the new joints.

Hi Nuffy
I just had one done on my Daughters Fastie at
Bridgestone Tyre Centre Geebung on the corner of Newman Rd & Prosperity Place. He has been doing VW's for years . We very happy with the job done it the best the fastie has driven for a long while, and they do it at a good price $39.90.
