Re: S Spec Prelude
Nice one! That's definately handy, will hopefully solve the issue..RattyMcClelland wrote:Yep the same and change both. S spec suspension is identical to standard ludes. Only the type s uses different fronts.
I've found these http://m.mister-auto.co.uk/en/tie-rod-e ... lsrc=aw.ds
I think they are correct?

Re: S Spec Prelude
Im looking to order these today so if someone could clarify if they are correct and if not direct me to correct ones it would be much appreciated



Re: S Spec Prelude
I've figured I need 4 tie rod ends?
inner front right+ left and outer right + left.
obviously I'm going to replace the steering rack swell, would it be worth changing ball joints also or is this overkill if it isn't necessary? I just want to make sure everything that could potentially be causing the steering playing up is changed as I start my new job in bournemouth on the 10th November!

Re: S Spec Prelude
Haven't updated this for about a month..
I got the track and tie ends replaced and its now driving fine!!
Done 5 or 6 trips to and from Bournemouth in the past 2 weeks and it's been fine
I am however going to get the coilovers adjusted and raised a little, I feel its that low it still affects the handling, which you expect when its real low but I want some element of comfort now I'm doing some long journeys

Re: S Spec Prelude
update - whilst the lude is driving a hell of a lot better now - with my new job and moving down to bournemouth (paying rent etc etc) I'm just not gonna have the funds to get the body work done despite being able to get it done by my friend so I will be selling the lude over the next few months, unsure what the asking price will be as yet but we shall see!

But the body work need addressing sooner rather than later other wise it will only get worse! The bonnet has already got worse!
Will post some pictures up in the next few days!
