Seized Suspension Bolts
I took the S for a couple of new tyres on the rear and a free geo. check today @ Pro Tyres in Bristol.
The geo. needed adjusting so I said to go ahead. Guess what...? the bolts are seized. "How unusual" I hear you say...not. Mine being a '99 I'm not surprised, they probably haven't been touched in the seven years of it's life.
I'm going to take it to my bro-in-law's garage next week to see if he can get them unseized. I suppose I'll have to get the bolts from the stealer's, yes? and I bet they cost an arm and a leg.
Pro Tyres want ninety odd quid to adjust the geo.
I suppose they have to pay for the equipment somehow.

If you can't un-seize the bolts you will need to hacksaw them out and replace the wishbones.
