1st, went to Dans garage tonight to get my springs fitted, back ones were done quick but my steering rod is well fucked!
so i need to claim that under warrenty, but i dont know that if its void because i havent had my first service yet (lack of funds)
2nd, when i brake now there is a grinding noise coming from the rear, ant ideas ?
it sounds like the pads on the drums have gone but i aint 100%
so at the moment my rear is lowered -40mm and the front normal

Gutted mate You hit a BIG pot hole or anything that could have fecked the steering rod? Wouldn't have thought it would have broken with the car only being between 1 and 2 years old.

Would it not be void anyways for adding lowering springs?
I can imagine the vauxhall line "yes sir ure springs stressed ure steering and also that y ure drivers light bulbs is blown and your radio doesnt work and anything else we can con u into believing"

chris take it in and don't mention anything about your service.they didn't ask me for anything and the rack has nothing to do with the service so you should get away with it
