If you are for real then why not take your car to a garage that actually know wtf they are doing. I already recommended a garage in hillington for you.
What muppets have you already taken the car to?

i am offering £50 to anyone who gives concrete information that leads to a real-world fix. apart from JGlanzaV that is. payment via paypal.

i am hoping to identify the problem personally, then get it fixed for good. i wont be taking it to any mechanic again without some sort of concrete evidence of what the problem actually is this time.

people crying troll need to look in the mirror. offer is genuine, i defy you to prove me wrong.

you really are a muppet. People give you advice and youbignore it.

you drive a blatantly dangerous, high powered car on the road endangering yours and other road users lives.

You, sir, are a prize dick head and I just hope you only hurt yourself when it happens again.

Either that or the car is way beyond your obviously linited driving talents and there is **** all wrong with it. Either way, you ought to get the hell off the road you absolute moron.

The only person who could tell you what's wrong via a forum is mystic meg and I'm not sure if she's still alive.

that douche is just salty the 50 knicker prize is off limits to him... his car is probably under powered too. poor fellow

only mystic meg can diagnose a problem via the internet? so i guess the thousands of posts on here in similar vein are wasting their time also?

it's pretty easy. if this is the problem, help me identify the sway bar - and if it is knackered or not. i get it fixed, you collect £50. if you don't want it, i'll donate it to charity.

LOL. I love this. BEST TROLLING THREAD.... EVER!!!!


What a tool.


Still hasn't actually given any info of any use since the start. Hasn't told us which "specialists" he's taken the car too yet, presumably because he hasn't or this is all just fabricated tosh to troll us. What a total joke.


Nice one.

Maybe you should take the car to Scooby Clinic? They have the perfect shakedown road to find your issue.

Nice one.
what info is useful? i don't see how what garages the car has been to is of any use... at all. i would just give a random performance garage if all i had to do was appease you.

i am tying to find the problem, not a garage. we are way past finding a suitable garage.

so i ask again, what "useful" info do you need?

i am trying to find the rear sway bar. that sounds like the problem.

Because everyone on here (who you're asking for help from) have experience of all the GOOD garages that will be able to help you.


You won't tell us which "specialist" garage you have asked for help from, so we are unable to tell you if you are asking someone who can actually help you or asking Bernie & flippin Leepu to make things better.


Help us to help you, if you are indeed real. Which I very much doubt!


You're going round and round in circles ignoring advice and asking the same trolling questions.


Good luck to you!

If you're trolling then OK. Fail to see the point but whatever floats your boat.

If serious then if your rear anti roll bar (or sway bar) was loose or became disconnected - you'd a) hear it clonking about and b) probably be unlikely to notice it other than increased body roll when cornering at a relatively high speed - in day to day driving, I'd doubt you'd notice it.

As I said via PM you need to see if something is moving at the rear. If a lateral link bush has failed that might induce odd steering movement.

I agree that a loose rear ARB fitting or link won't cause this. The garage actually forgot to do the nut up on one or my rear links when they fitted my ARB, it knocked like a b4st4rd as you say but made no significant difference to how the car felt to drive. Felt no less dangerous. I would say nothing round the ARB's will be causing this (if it's real).

Already suggested concentrating on steering rack area. Rack mounting bushes or rack would be my bet. Or tyre pressures, tracking poss.

Or just an idiot driver as he has had the SAME PROBLEM ON PREVIOUS CARS?????? WHAT?????


I still call TROLL.

i had the steering rack REPLACED and the tracking was obviously done then. what else on the front can it be?!

definitely isn't tyre pressure.

i dare say there are better places to troll than a subaru forum... don't flatter yourselves.

He's not listening, I wouldn't waste your breath.


Who change the rack for you? Which "Specialist"? Did they fit new bushes and track rods too?

(wasn't a specialist who changed the rack, just a local garage)

what a crap community.

i guess it's headed for the scrappy.

would the new rack and new parts count for anything when scrapping the car? (assuming the car will be broken) i would have receipts to prove.

does anyone have an email for a breaker that would collect the car?

So everyone that has posted useful suggestions you've continued to ignore throughout this 7 pages of trolling drivel is of no use then? Get a life pal. Or better still, find a new forum to troll.

Is the new steering rack the most valuable part of your car? In short, no. You won't get any more for new parts. ALL cars that are scarped have SOME new parts. Holy cow!

Why don't you go find your other thread where you asked about scrapping the car and lots of us YET AGAIN gave you LOTS of useful advise and contacts.

I'm sure the answer you're looking for is in one of the MANY threads you have posted since 2011 on this particular subject. Have a look at your history.

What amazes me most is that you have been willingly driving a "self-proclaimed" DANGEROUS car since then.
