Highly recommend a professional suspension place. I went to APE springs and suspension in Wangara. There are heaps of places in Wangara and Malaga that do that sort of thing.
I wouldnt of bothered Ford with it. Let a specialist nut it out for you. Cheers Timmeh |

I had a similar problem with castor and ford tried to tell me some crap about my subframe being bent
So i took it to WA Suspensions in osborne park and they fixed it up quick and for a decent price.. I highly recommend them coz for one, their slightly ford biased (good to have a ford lover work on your car), and they really know their stuff.. never a problem ive had that they havent been able to fix with minimal fuss
