Alfa 156 anti-roll bar replacement

The mechanic suggested replacing the Alfa 156 anti-roll bar at the time I had the leaking power steering pipe come off and repaired. I thought the reason why he’s cross-selling me is that he wanted to get rid of a set of it in stock for reclaiming space. I gave him a green light because it was a win-win deal. I got what I want with labour costs saved and he cleared the stock.

Fixing a deformed wheel

A few weeks ago, the mechanic who changed the tyres for me found a wheel’s round shape had deformed a bit.

Dampers and springs replacement – part 3

Handling of the new dampers and springs:

(The following comment is largely based on comparison with the Sachs set, however, it may not be a fair comparison because the Sachs dampers and springs have run for 4 years and deteriorated a lot. Moreover, I’m not a skilful enough driver to push both suspension sets to their limits in the corners.)
