Hi, I hope someone can help me with this because I'm all out of ideas. NSR camber arm snapped on my Insignia, I've removed it but can't get the new one in. The tension in the suspension means I can't get the bolt through the axle into the new arm. I've tried compressing the spring, and jacking...

Hi Just brought a 2015 2.0 Insignia Elite. The car drives well apart from very soft suspension. Going down a road with the lights on, the beam goes up and down. Also sometimes going round a corner the car sometimes feels as though it is bouncing. Is this normal it has 15000 miles on the car...

Hi, My dad took his 06 Vectra to Vauxhall and has been told there is excessive play in both rear control arm bushes and rear hub bushes on both sides. He's been quoted £750!! They said it would take two days and need 4 wheel alignment. Seems very expensive for 6 bushes and wheel alignment! How...
