Vague Handling

[Stuart35205]

Hi all I have the day off tomorrow and feel I need to have a look over the car front to back after a spirited drive I feels dreadful I haven't driven it for a week or so . It has coilovers all be it cheap ones possibly jom , adjustable arb links , new top mounts & bearings , poly bushed wishbones & don't think it's got anything done to the rear , does it require adjustable links on rear it is lowered quite a lot , I will be removing the spacers from the front as wheels hit the arches to much even with stretched tyres but that's another issue! Any ideas & upgrade advice would be appreciated . Cheers Stuart

Any knocks?

antiroll bar bushes or rear trailing arm bushes maybe at a guess. I have the original trailing arm bushes on after 110K and i think they need changing (new bushes sitting beside me as i type). It feels a bit nervous - i think knackered trailing arm bushes mean that the toe angle on the rear can change whilst driving which is effectively unwanted rear wheel steering

Its an A3 Alex so no adjustable bars needed or trailing arm bushes..?

Well I didn't find anything of any con earn but did ind our my wheels are 18x8.5j & ET 30 and only just clear the struts with the spacers on so I have raised the car slightly and made sure its level on all corners now , I think it may be smart to find some poly bushes for the rear and renew as much as poss as its relatively cheap , I would like to possibly fit an arb aswell. Any thoughts
