Hey guys,
I've recently had a whole bunch of problems with my VT's link pins as the mechanic I usually go to fitted them incorrectly a couple of times, resulting in the washers breaking, the rubbers splitting and the whole "metal on metal" sound coming back (original problem). After I took it back to him for the third time (he had to pay for each new set, as he fitted the others incorrectly) the car seemed to run fine (no noises). Lately, however, I have begun to hear a very slight sound coming from the same area as the link pins, like washers moving around. The knocking sound is gone, so the washers don't seem broken like they were before. Could something need tightening, perhaps? Does it sound like a slight adjustment could stop the sound? Am I just being particular? Responses would be greatly appreciated.
