chungster:
i agree with 182_blue.... there's no centre spigots or anything on the std monza's so it just goes straight on against the brake disc.

I couldn't do this before.

What have I f*cked up?

have you released the handbrake yet ?, move the car it will settle

if not just make sure the spring is sat properly (i doudbt its moved though)

stealthwolf:
^^^ I didn't have that flat disc thing on the end of the hub when I did the driver's front wheel, which is why I was concerned when I couldn't fit the alloy. Turned out the hub was lower.

Don't know if it was because the jack was leaking and slowly lowering the car or whether the suspension caused it.

I am actually afraid to do so. I sat in the back and moved up and down and it didn't have any effect.

Dammit why does everything I do have to be more complicated than it is for anyone else?!?!?!  :fighting:

Yeah I released the handbrake and the clutch and let the edge slightly [very slight gradient] but still flipping high. It's like a 4x4 at the back!  :scared:

182_blue:
^ just make sure spring is sat right then go out in it, ps what have you been doing to it (im guessing painting and nothing else)
