Default Chassi refreschments...

Hi all.

Im about to put the car in garage over winter and have plans for upgrading and fresh the chassi up abit. So i would like to hear pointers from u ppl.

What to change front/rear.

Im thinking of almost build the entire chassi up as good as i can. Balljoints,tierods,over and under arms,sway links etc. What do u ppl recomend i gettin done to have a solid and fresh platform to start of on in 2012?.

I have some stomping noise from rear when going slow over bumps! its like something is loose in a way. In speeds this is not noticable. Front i have clonking noice when cornering at low speeds while i have pressure on brakes! I think its a mix of bad pads/rotors and calipers.

Please point me to good places to buy aswell.


/Sebastian

Please use the Search fuction on the clucking noise.. Many threads have been started already about this issue.

Its very common in the GS, balljoints and caster arm bushings (#2) are one of the most noticeable differences you will feel. After you change those then go from there.

Check out Sewell.com and register and get the CL discount. Sewell sells the individual bushings on some of the control/caster arms..

PM me if you have any other questions..
