Well Guys and Gals
 I had a chance to check the fasty again and the only other thing I found
was slightly loose wheel bearings, which I tighten and also I noticed that
when I pull really hard the top ball joint feels also loose. It is hard to
tell it feels loose and at the same time it feels like it is spring loaded.
Could I be feeling the torsion bars, I mean I pull and push top and bottom
of the tire (L) and only when I pull really hard I can feel movement.
As for the calipers both are tight, torsion bars tight. I called my FLAPS
and they have a replacement brand (TRW) with lifetime warranty for $ 23.99.
This sounded good to me what you guys and gals think .
TIA
