jloppy1 0 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 hi tonk i also have the gmax setup. and i also suffer from the driver side crunch when going over pot holes.I am riding on 17s but no sign of rubbing.i have had the kit on about 2 months and the crunch has got worse over time so i belive the problem is probably related to worn bushes/strut mount bearings. i got the car booked in garage to get suspension looked at. will see what they say.

tonk 0 Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 thanks jloppy1 let me know what they say, im going to replace the top mounts this weekend before geting the tracking and camber done see if that helps at all? Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I've got the gmax kit on standard wheels too and have no problems. It has been really good. They are normally a really good reliable kit. They are all guarenteed for 3 years so if there is something wrong get it replaced mate. Link to post Share on other sites

tonk 0 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Thanks for the info loppy!Last weekend i had to change the bearing on the passangers side, the autoshop only had 1 in stock so couldnt do both sides. Will have to get drivers side done now but the weathers crap this weekend! Link to post Share on other sites
