Hi guys,Bit of a strange one,this!
I had a Garage change a corroded front subframe Track Control arm on my 8v recently.
Took the car back in for some more work today,and the Garage said that they found the Control arm that they had replaced a few weeks previously was contacting with the gearbox.
They managed to move the components around a little so as to remedy the contact,but they wouldn't take any money,saying to drive it over Christmas,and to take it back if there were any problems.
The question is,could the contact between the arm and the gearbox cause any expensive damage to the gearbox casing?
Cheers.
The short answer is no, the gearbox is nowhere near the control arm. Do you have anything else, rattling noises? Pictures?
No pictures, unfortunately,and only noticed a slight groan when parking on fulll left-hand lock.No bangs etc.
Thought a CV boot had leaked or something.
It's just a bit strange that the garage didn't want to charge me anything,when they had obviously spent time on it!
The only reason I can think of for not charging is it was something they had done caused the problem.

I was wondering that too

My thoughts too, I can't see though how a control arm can contact with the gearbox. So whatever they corrected was not what they say it was. But whatever it was it needs monitoring. Where do you go with that?
