HELP AND ADVISE NEEDED with my 6N2

Post by r12nuts »

Hi people
finaly have taken the first step on moding my 6n2, got me some coilies but im haveing an issue...

has anyone has this issue?

my drivers side front wheel has a slant on top, leaning in.
ive changed the shocks twice, first a used one then a new on, also changed the wishbone but no difference.
tried the camber and thats pulled to the max.
also when i lock the steering to the left, it has a pull and wont come back but will when steered to the right? {when driveing}
the only thing left is hub which is my next step on tuesday but just needed to know if i should consider somthing else...?
heres a picture hope it can be noticed...

Is your wheel put on straight ? are you useing the same size wheel nuts ? Is there any dirt blocking the wheel from going on square ? Is there any other reason your wheel aint going on square ?

it has had a knock but it was minor really, just replaced the wing.
i have had it tracked twice, the first time they told me it was the wishbone, dont think even they know what the issue is. the sub frame looks straight.
the way to check chassis damage is to look under the hood and check to see if any of the bolts have moved and in my case their all straight.
hopeing it is the hub

If you got them from ebay/phone/or any other internet site mate you should be able to get a refund under the Distance Selling Regulations it says "you must give consumers clear information including details of the goods or services offered" which they did not as they gave you the wrong information about the item and also it says "the consumer has a cooling-off period of seven working days" Hope this helps you.
