My S40 Badly Damaged!

Yes but don't forget the pads too. Are you thinking of doing the fronts at the same time?

Correct, I am going to do the whole lot. New Brembo front pads, discs, rear discs, and pads.

I can recommend the IPD Anti-Roll Bar Kit (rear). Tightens up the handling and makes front end turn in much keener. Try Don (at Kalmar Union) or PFS.

Yes (he says, slightly embarrassed - fool and their money being easily parted and all that!). Don does them cheaper than PFS but give him lots of notice so he can place an order across the pond. Expensive, but does make a notable difference to handling.

Totally normal. Every car (no matter if Auto or Man) will rock when parked. Even with the handbrake on...

I think he means placing your hands on the back face of the wheel and rocking it - so the pivot point is the hub itself - not rotating it as if the car were driving.

Sounds like a knackered hub!

[JamesV70R]

Yeh, but there is no load on it because its on a jack ....

I normally always quote, as some people will manage to wedge themselves in between
