Alloy help - URGENT!
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)

^^^ 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:

^ 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)
