I have long been thinking about the factory-fitted halogen headlamp upgrade on my Alfa 156 to improve the night visibility – it was just not up to the job for the “to-see” purpose. As an interim solution, I have fitted a new pair of enhanced halogen bulbs. That improved the situation a bit but still not very satisfactory.
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.
From the day I got the Alfa 156, I experienced twice of having squeaks when turning the steering wheel. The root cause is the low fluid level as the result of power steering pipe leakage. Though topping up the power steering fluid can be the temporary fix, I decided to have it really fixed. I don’t want to damage the power steering pump.
