Thanks for that; how would the ride be affected from both a worn TB and a broken TB ?
Everything has been replaced or upgraded on my front end, but the ride isn’t that smooth |

QUOTE(jim_hoyland @ Jun 5 2021, 10:05 AM)  how would the ride be affected from both a worn TB and a broken TB ? A broken TB literally means that corner of the car is falling to the ground. It'll be sitting on top of the tire and/or strut housing. There's no way to drive the car like that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
