yeah thers is meant to be, well on 4ths any way, and i cant see why the wouldnt on 5ths :?

nice on one the box! :shock: worth double cheacking though as nitin looked into it and i thought there was a box that came with both lsd and non ! fingers crossed though :mrgreen:

ive had a quick look and as far as i can see, the M2T4 box was LSD only, M2S4 was the non LSD box in the 5th gen SiR, and M2Z4 in the s spec, so its looking good :P

New Track Rods, Front Brake Discs and Pads

Post by mills » Tue Jul 17, 2012 10:36 am

Replaced my track rod ends the weekend because the old ones were really bad, in fact the boot fell off the 1 side when i took it off :oops:

And i got these discs and pads off a forum member a while ago so thought i would replace them at the same time.

apart from the 1 locating screw on the drivers side disc that i had to drill out :roll: everything came off quite easily 8-)

next job is to replace both steering rack gaitors and drivers side cv gaitor as they have all split :roll: but now the Lude stops really well :twisted:

Yeah those disc screws are a pain in the ass. Did you record how many times you wound off the old track rod ends and wind the new ones one the same?

LO Mills :D

Lude looking good as usual matey :mrgreen:

Did you manage to get hold of a Prelude badge for your grill :?:

Did you use rubbing compound or wet n dry on your front door rubbers/plastic trim :?:

Just wondering if using rubbing compound may be easier than wet n dry :?:

I have only ever done my rear window rubbers , but my front door ones are going a bit now :(

Cheers ;)
