Yeah its rather disconcerting when you fit new parts and they look like that, I was convinced mine were F***** when I first fitted them. Need the space for angle change when you steer, try winding on lock and watch them. All in all a shit design, one thing I rather loathe about b3/3/4 design.

I am going to try and fit a set of rear rubber rings to the front to see if that stops chatter.

Hi Chris

thanks for getting back to me.

Yes I went last night, just about getting over it now. As I said somewhere else on here we are at least one season too early for the Premiership and it's probably a blessing that some other team goes up to take the obligatory thrashing and relegation.

Having said that we fell woefully short last night, outfought and outcompeted in most area's and what a night to pick to have your worst home game of the season. Blackpool thoroughly deserved the victory and I am please for Ian Holloway, he's a top bloke. I used to enjoy his ramblings on radio 5 when he had a slot of Friday Nights sports show. Mad as a box of frogs!

I don't believe next year will be as tough. Unfortunately we had to contend with two strong teams from the Premiership. The teams coming down this time are not in the same class. I'd like to think we'll be mixing it next year with Middlesborough and Leeds in a 3 way tussle at the top. If Cardiff don't go up they'll have major financial worries, Portsmouth to do another drop to league 1 but I reckon Ipswich could well be dark horses, I can't see them having another poor season with Keane in charge. Oh..and Derby for the drop.

Now all West Brom have to do is avoid the yo yo drop, and keep a place warm in the prem for us so it's only a season before we can sample the delights of the Vine again. Still my favorite away ground of all time

Well we won't be renewing our season yickets for the Prem. Over rated Mart. Very biased officials so we'll spend the money on something else

Its not supposed to bet locked between the cap and turret.
What youre missing is the plastic covers that fit on top which cover it and make it look like its a snug fit.
Really cant see anything wrong with it to be honest matey.
mine look nothing like that , they are as tight as a badgers arse & neither have I noticed any extra road noise, in fact i'd say it's a million times better.
