im all out of options for the brisbane area to take it,i really dont trust anyone one these days been to brendale p/t they deal only in engines ,driveline specialists a few random machanics,i agree with what posts are saying machanics and so called specialists seem to have a policy where they just guess and replace until they strike it lucky ,just had diff and engine mounts replaced because a drive line specialist said that those were making the knocks i was hearing, soon they'l run out of things to replace lol

So you've gone through EVERY underbody place in the phonebook, and the only one left is Pedders. And you come here and get a thread full of people telling you you're going to get ripped off yet you seem unwilling to listen.

Your money mate.

I had all brand new suspension in my vn,, fitted a week earlier, took it to ******* for a simple wheel alignment only to pick the car up with a report saying that the shocks are failing an the springs have sagged, I was like sooo did you do the wheel alignment, To witch they said no so i went to leave an they wanted to charge me for having the car on the hoist.

Told em to stick it, wouldn't give me my key back so i walked out an used my spare key started car an drove away.

no its a 2007 vess-v my original car was 2009 i down graded and bought a lemon thats been flogged within an inch of its life by the sounds,as as for the back sub frame they reckon the way the rear control arms are and the way the bolts have been pulled an twisted its been reversed into something, certainly wasnt what i wanted to hear...its like a squeaking or grinding of metal on metal slowing down speeding up taking off from stand still.. strute bearings collapsed,springs not seating right and general play in all the bushes tells me its been hammered by its previous owner,tailshaft centre bearing causing knocking between gears

Wasn't a silver one was it??? My first one was about that old. Feel sorry for whoever ended up with that car :unsure:. Never smashed it though.

I will never go to Pedders again. Ever!
I won't labour by describing the shonky "No Bull" check they did without my authorisation and how they told me "oh your suspension is worn and needs this and that" after the bushes/rubbers were replaced front and rear by me a week prior to going there. I only asked for a wheel alignment!
Neil Crompton can get stuffed for advertising that mob of crooks and saying "Trust Pedders". Grrrrr

Perhaps go to a reputable suspension specialist (ie not Pedders) if you want your money spent knowing you are getting what you need for a reasonable price.
Best of luck...
