spunkehmunkey Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Got my car back from it's MOT last week. Whilst it was there I chose to have both rear tyres replaced as I was having severe traction issues even though I had plenty of tread. Went for a better version of the bridgestones that were already on the car and widened them from 245 to 255. Whilst in for the MOT the only issue was the banana arm joint (or w/e it is called) on the front drivers side which had to be replaced. All in the final bill ended up being around the £750 mark which is fine. Since getting the car back the drive has been a LOT smoother, it didn't feel like anything was wrong with it before hand and it still drove well but it is so much better now. There is better turning feedback and the steering is a touch heavier which is nice. The grip is also a tonne better, obviously in the current weather full throttle would still make you struggle for traction like a dog on laminate flooring but that is to be expected. Loving the new smooth feel, never knew a banana arm could make so much change! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Always nice getting a car back from a garage in a better state then when you left it with them. Enjoy the improved drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
