[QUOTE="shaunng, post: 410942, member: 19598"] 1st step: The underbelly Took the car out to check if any bushings need to be replaced. To my horror, the whole lot has to be replaced. No wonder the car was wobbling side to side on the road. Anyways, here are the pix:- [ATTACH]13107[/ATTACH] [B]Exhaust. Dented and rusty. Really horrible condition. Welded the various holes as a temporary measure as I'm thinking of getting an aftermarket exhaust system.[/B] [ATTACH]13109[/ATTACH] [B]Engine mounting. Completely flattened. No wonder the car emitted a very violent rattle during high revs. Because both mountings were kaput, the engine was so low it made contact with the anti roll bar. Needless to say, during high revs (when the engine vibrates more) both the engine and the anti roll bar bergaduh; making a lot of noise.[/B] [ATTACH]13110[/ATTACH] [B]Brake disks - all had to be replaced. Machining it summore means it will be as thin as paper. All brake pads had to be replaced too.[/B] continued.. [/QUOTE]
