i dont think so cause i checked once and it doesnt matter what axle you put in either side because they are both the same length, so i think you are wrong

ive found my tyres touch a lot cause ive only got one shocker in the back at the moment, so the diff moves from side to side easily, makes me wonder with the sedans and their upright shocks what stops sideways movement of the diff?

Am I right that the driver side (Right side) of the diff is a tiny bit shorted than the passenger (left) side, so there is more chance of the wheel rubbing on the right side?
I swear it is true...

I woudln't haev alcue what the actual wire are. But I believe it was pobably somethign to do with my alternator wire swapping method. I seems to remember (barely) when I put the engine in and we just twisted and taped the new wire to the alternator on the opposite side of the engine... I had to go to work so I left and my friend kep on doing stuff to it. When I came back everything was black taped up with the other wires so I assumed that solder or connectors had been used. Looks like they wre still twist and taped....
Grrrrr....
Yeah I am pretty sure that it was one of the alternator wires. But they were all bundled with whatever the other wires were. Whole lot of stuff rewired...
I should have complained a bit more. But I am really bad at that stuff...
anyway, not going back to him again.
telling everyone not to as well...
Dude, do you know of anyone good in Canberra, being in the business and all?

Mate I saw it and you know I was jokking!
But I really do hate cars and auto electrical now days!

You should tell Sherlock Holmes no #### the short wasn't always there otherwise they would have found it!
( they should have looked and found one still! )

I can understand saying it has been there for a while if it was still small and the wire was melted a little but from what you say
the whole wire was melted up so for all they know it could have all happened at once!

( unless their meaning of a while is 1 week!
to which you say no sh#t as it took a week for you guys to fix it!)

As for $200 what the hell was burnt?
( sorry if you have already said!)

You'll note that it says : "Present Compant excluded"

And well yeah $200 later I have my car back....

Apparently the short wasn't always shorting out and when they checked it the first time it wasn't shorting then, but it did when I got the lovely white smoke...
I can understand that, but I still retain the right to feel damn angry about it...
Apparently it has been shorting out for a while. Dunno how you could tell that...

get a baseball bat ora tyre iron or whatever takes you fancy and push it in so it is sitting on top of the tyre poiting out of the guard. now kind of push the end down so it pivots off the tyre and the other end pushes against the guard. now get someone to either drive very slowly backwards and forewards or roll the car backwards and forewards.

But with that front part that hit I went axe on it before I did the lipping.. swearing and banging the crap out of it with a metal hammer ( No rubber mallets for me!) and I was surprised at how well it actually came out...
