Janus Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Hi all,Bought my first Glanza yesterday, 97 auto. Got a few issues with it - like it shakes like a ******** dog at any sort of speed. Had wheels balanced but its made no difference so getting it checked over next week. Rear shocks are leaking slightly, needs front brake pads, the auxillary heating fans work but no actual heat - but don't think it'll take an awful lot to get sorted. Previously had MR2, Celica and Nissan 300ZXAnyway, some picscheers Quote

Janus Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 welcome mate,were abouts in teesside you fromHello. Im in Marton just near the police station. My wheel wobble is horrible really needs sorting.What about you dude? Quote
1987glanza Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 if you,ve had the balance checked & thts fine, then i would swap fronts to rear (wheels) first of all rather than waste money on get things looked at. if you get stuck i work @ teesside tyrepower in stockton so just drop in Quote

Suspect I need some spacers as the wheel isn't on snugly and moves so that needs looking at. Had a look under it today, track rod ends look fine, not sure about drop links tho.Awesome that you work in a tyre place - if I'd known that today I would have just come straight over! MY mechanic Phil is gonna look next week as he'll fix my brakes for me but my boyfriend Marc might possibly come over after uni tomorrow if he gets finished early. Where abouts in Stockton is your gaff?CheersJane Quote
