T2 MSW Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Wow.. your replies never fail to amaze me chris, always so instructive and book worthy I will buy some genuine toyota toe arms I think. Do you have any part numbers for a facelift tt vvti ? If there's any difference in facelift vs pre facelift ? Thanks for all your help bud, means alot that I can call upon the guru for sound advice This is why Chris should not be subject to trader renewal anymore it should just be automatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 You could try Steve Manley at Inchcape Toyota Oxford for genuine parts at the best prices, he doesn't usually need part numbers either. 01865 291333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbiemercman Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 * When your car is broken and your in dismay, Chris is the man to bring into play. * He doesn't really bugger about, he just tells you how to sort it out. * I have met him in the flesh when my brother's tt was sorted and refreshed. * It's great for me i have to say as he does not live so far away.

Big Mark Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 So did the replacement parts sort the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 They were actually loose. I fitted them for Lee, and when I loosened the nuts on the adjuster bolts, I had to put in literally no effort. New arms and a Hunter Alignment and it drives as new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Doh. I need to get my alignment done properly. Stripped entire suspension had it powder coated and fitted polybushes, coilovers and upgraded ARB's. 2 garages have done alignment and both times didn't tighten things up properly and one couldn't even set castor. So going to get it done by someone that can as noticed twice now in fast sweeping bends what felt like a little movement/twitch from the back end. Going to raise it a little this weekend too as too low anyway, plus will then be able to space out my rear wheel a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris at Centregravity is very good and can do the corner weights as well but he's not cheap, based in Atherstone on the A5 Edited August 14, 2015 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Hunter Alignment down here's about £150 usually. Well worth the investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of taking the car to Chris Wilson maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite a while ago when he did my car so best to give him a call, if you've got platform adjustable suspension i'd be getting that set up too and having the corner weights done http://www.centregravity.co.uk We had a club day there some time ago, not sure if there's a thread on it, Chris knows his stuff just like CW does on here Edited August 14, 2015 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
