Posidrive Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Changed the pads myself for the first time ever this weekend and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was with the Bembos although why the pins are reversed on the rear calipers is quite beyond me. Makes pushing them out quite a pain. But when doing the front driver side I couldn't get my trolley jack under the car which was too low by about a quarter of an inch whereas I had no problem with the passenger side. Had to resort to the manual jack. I also noticed that the front tyres are wearing unevenly, much more wear on the right hand side of the tyre. Any idea what could cause this? Quote
370Ad Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Compression arm/banana arm bush failure is common for the Z. This would knock your tracking out, not sure about the chassis level though! Quote
Posidrive Posted July 27, 2013 Author Posted July 27, 2013 Thanks for that. Drivers side bush was completely knackered. Had both changed yesterday and now car is perfectly level as well. Hopefully the new tyres will last longer . Quote
