Just chasing a Lexus IS200 Sport along a twisty road on way back from Alton Towers yestaerday - every time I hit a bump in the road or a stone the back end came out to the left by about 20 degrees - scaring the bejeezus out of me (nearly put it into a wall as well!)

 

Last time my car was looked at (apart from my front tension rods being fooked) I was told the Hicas arms were fooked as well. Do these sound like the symptoms?

Can be the shock absorbers as well. Quite cheap to replace.

yup, deffo HICAS link arms. replace them & 4 wheel alignment

cheers Paul, thats the next job on my list (new sheet of A4...)

Hicas mate. And dont i bloody well know it. I had the same trouble, exactly the same symps. Link arms where shot to hell, when the car was jacked up you could actualy move the wheel. And ya aint sposed to be able to do that Hicas or no.

 

Mine all stillened up now and it goes round bends luvurley

FFS! Don't any of you muppets do a search before posting on here? I can see why the "TwinTurbo.net" guys get p1ssed off!

 

Yeah and Paul would say HiCAS arms coz he is in the trade and works for a Captain Kirk Main Dealer so he's used to screwing people on a daily basis! LMFAO :) ... and I speak from experience...you MO FO's take the mother f\/ckin' biscuit...when I had my 190 Cossie you charged me 65 squids an hour labour! FFS! Land Rover/Range Rover only charged me and the woman a mighty 45 squids an hour! Oh and by the way, Merc customer service is f\/cking w@nk bud! Nowt personal but there you go, I need to get my post counter up! ;) No wonder you do so sh1te in the Top Gear JD Power Poll as I told the service manager at the Conwy branch when I had my Kirk! LMFAO

 

My car did this from day one, turns out it was the shocks, easy test...FFS...can't believe I am repeating myself again!

 

Take yer motor for a spin, stop, pull handbrake up one notch so the light illuminates on the dash.

 

Reason? Activates the adjustable suspension and firms that MO FO up!

 

FFS! Nico...where are ya? These are lost souls mate!

stick it up your ar$e tammy turbot, your starting to sound like another member we had that defected to a different car :xxx:

 

oh, & if you cant take a joke - you shouldnt have bought a 190 cossie in the 1st place :tongue:

 

ps - were £75ph+vat, & thats cheap now days!! :eek:

1 other thing - if you read daves sig you would see he has a jap car which doesnt even have adjustable suspension.

 

in fact 2 other things - he also stated its been lowered & stiffened - guess he's already got uprated shocks then eh??

cheers Paul :D

 

and hey timmy i did do a search... for "Just chasing a Lexus IS200 sport through the countryside" but nothing came up! :tongue: :dance:
