View Full Version : the no bull treatment
so today i was out of town with the missus in my vy ss when i hit a small pot hole and bang, finished off the strut top mounts and bearings that i was going to be replacing next days off.
so trundled over to dubbo pedders shop to see if they could fit me in to fix it up as i needed to get home today (300km) and didnt feel too keen to drive on the shagged parts. yep the could fit me in
so in a bit of a chat with the guy while he we doing wheel alignment on another car he remebered me last time i was there getting wheel alignment and asking for spring heights and said if i was to get them today i wouldnt get charged labour for it as he was already pulling the struts apart.
so i rock in there to get car fixed and leave with it dumped.
havnt got any picks of it yet as i only just got home but will try and get some up tomorrow after work.
thanks again dubbo pedders

sounds good mate. bet ya can't wait to get her back, how low are you going?
already got her back, but didnt have camera with me when i picked it up and then had to drive 3 hours home and didnt get here til after dark so pics will have to wait till tomorrow.
its pretty damn low, well the back is atleast, maybe even too low, dragged the paccies over the slight hump in driveway, may just need to work on approch angle

Glad to hear that they crew at Dubbo could help on the day. I will pass on your remarks to them this morning.
When you get the pics make sure you enter one into the show us your cars comp at www.pedders.com.au/products/94/174 (http://www.pedders.com.au/products/94/174).
You could end up with a jacket to go with the new look.

If it looks that good now it will look damm fine with a tub and polish.

The car's looking sweet Dave :goodjob:
And whilst i'm here I'd just like to publicly thank Scott for his professional advice via pm's just recently helping me out with height questions with a particular spring.
The thread title certainly means how it reads imho.......the no bull treatment :)
