Air bags done - car transformed

kieronf said:

Just had my airbags replaced and after only a short drive home I can honestly say that the car has been completely transformed. The ride in particular is much more forgiving, no harsh ride over potholes, but the most noticeable thing is how changing the bags has eliminated quite a few niggles.

Gone is a slight vibration from the rear axle on overrun, the car is (obviously) much more stable through the corners as it maintains ride height and the steering is markedly more precise.

The moral is clear chaps - check your bags frequently:5bhurray:

Bought a pair of Dunlops on Fleabay from Island 4x4 for £120 plus new clips at £5 or so.

Just goes to show that even the simple things can cause so many underlying problems. Oh, and I didn't fit them, I won't go into all that again but a very nice indie in Okehampton (James tennant) stuck them on for £50 in under 1.5 hours !!!
