i swear i have the worst luck ever! took the girl out for a drive last night... ment to go to south st but didnt get anywhere near there. car started wobbling so took her to the servo and ive got a FLAT! haha didnt have a spare with me, phone was dead, didnt even have the jack in the boot as i took it out today, and one of the rear springs fell out when it parked up... anyway RAC towed it home for me getting new tyres today now... i learnt my lesson :P murphy's law definately has something in for me. also new deck goes in on thurs and stereo gets a freshen up woo also was wondering how much a second hand set of vx ss rims are worth?

i got brand new brake rotors and heavy duty pads but like the squealing is like metal on metal doesn't sound like the brakes found out all my springs weren't in properly last night all in place now so I'm hoping it could've been that pretty sure I've bent the strut tho Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

you got access to a hoist by any chance?? If so get it up in the air and have a good look to see if anything is bent or damaged. Then get someone to drive the car on the hoist and try and listen to where the noise is coming from. If you just done all the brakes then its unlikely this would be causing the problem unless it was done wrong. Havnt lost it and hit the kerb or anything?? Sounds like something is possibly bent. Remember when u take off your front wheels naturally align up and become parrallel so that exessive lean could be your problem. Id be taking the wheel off and having a real good look at everything, struts, tie rod, ball joint etc. Hope that helps Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
