Question
Does anyone see there being a technical problem shimming 3mn approximately between the front subframe mounts and body to effectively lift the front relative to the subframe?
Reason being on my minor detour to stoneleigh I got waylaid round the roads of coleshill, actually that's not true they were more a series of overlapping potholes and each one gave the car some abuse through the front suspension hearing alarming banging noises, after checking over everything I've narrowed it down to the clearance or lack of between the hydragas sphere tops and the fiberglass inner wing top, I can detect clearance with a piece of paper but not more and there is evidence of historical damage to the gelcoat there,
Shimming the subframe would not only give clearance here but also lower the engine 3mm (timing cover huts the underbonnet under hard acceleration) and an extra 3mn tyre to arch clearance so I'm quite keen.
I've checked the bushes for play and I can't feel any, even jacking under the body allowing the engine to hang gives no more clearance so I don't suspect bushes.
Only issue I can think of is steering UJ but should just re-clamp.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
