Re: Advice needed !!!!!!!!

yeah there too big! to get the best handling stick with ur 15" bbs and some good tryes but if u did want something different i'd wait and try and get hold of some 16" hartge alloys. imo with bigger wheels the steering becomes less responsive and i hear the bk alpina reps give a poor ride.

Re: Grumbling whirring noise on steering right?

i agree, wheel bearing! also i know it sounds stupid but check the wheel is defiantly on tight and not come loose as this happened to me in a rally once and had the same symptoms, luckily i made it to the end of the stage tho! :D

Re:

Yes! it can only go one way up, im sure as the top one has the grove for the bolt to go through, and the bottom fixing doesnt have the bolt coming through onto the splines.

if u can get a rack easily enough i would just put a new rack in, quicker to do it that way. then when the old rack is out u can strip it down a refurb it and have a new one as spare! if the banjo's are the leaking point u need new copper washers!

trying to fit my p/s rack at the mo to no avail!
