Hellas850 T-5 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hello guys,I hope everyone is fine,it's been a long time since I posted in VS,I rarely spend my time for the car,and the situation here in Greece is very strange now. But I have a problem unsolved for many years now,and it becomes worse than before,so I would appreciate your opinion for something. Iam thinking to put a kit of these http://www.fk-automotive.org.uk/websale7/ coilovers on,because the car is leanig to the left,and can't find from what it is,and the result of this thing is that the front left tire is in contact very often with the fender. any opinion welcome thanks a lot guys.

matt b Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Obvious questions I know but still: how are the other suspension parts ? I had issues with the left tire hitting the front part of the fender liner (black arch inside the fender) and it was due to a worn A arm. The part had enough play to allow the wheel to make contact under turns, etc... Also, has the car ever been crashed or had the subframe hit ? It could also be as simple as worn shocks, I had that happen to a friend's 245. I've had excellent luck with D2 Racing. Their stuff is right along the same price as FK but seems to be of better quality. Apparently, some people have had their FK parts rust. Probably not a huge problem in your region but I guess if you're close enough to the coast, it could matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any site for D2 susp.? the car was crashed to the right rear door,but it was leaning before it,but in the past I had columbas on and not Pegasus 18' so it wasn't so big problem.the arch and the fender at the edge over the wheel are damaged,I recently changed tires and the left front is worn because of the contact with the fender,the wheel arms are the old type made from aluminium and the bushings are from powerflex.the only thing that I have noticed it is at the rear axle,if you look the car from behind it seems that the wheels are both to the right side of the car.I also have changed in the past shocks twice,springs twice,top mounts front and rear.

Pointless to spend 300+ euros on suspension if it won't fix the real issue. It may not be crash related but I'd double check to make sure you don't have a bigger problem.

theForgottenone Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I believe D2 is the same as Ksports just re badge in different name. I do not think they're that great based on many users reviews (K-Sports) online. Some S40 owners use FK and seems to be content with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellas850 T-5 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I haven't done anything yet for the problem,but I noticed something else,that could be the reason for it,the rear axle seems to have a problem,the left rear wheel,looks like it has negative camber,if you watch the car from the back.could it be finally from the rear all the problem???
