WOF issue + camber

Post by whib »

hey there.
I'm new to suzuki's and this site, its great.
Is running no bumpers a WOF issue on the vitaras/escudos? are mud flaps required?
and also I'm in need of some camber bolts for my struts, iv got some negative camber from a lift, where can i get some of these, and their size so i know what to ask for??
thanks

On a side issue anyone driving behind you wont like you flicking water rocks etc at them.

no mud flaps are required for a warrent, however if one mudflap is missing and others are still on then they can fail you

Yep, I've found that, they let me remove the rest and gave me a WOF.
I had a worn bushing and my swaybar in the Safari which they were going to fail me on, removed the swaybar, and passed :?

the bumper are simple if it has any sharp protuding edges it will fail

if something is on there it must be in a safe working order

Front bumper removal is non-warrantable (dangerous projections or fittings), rear bumper removal is no problem.

I've just had mine certified and wof'd. Run front bumpers and nothing on the back, on both trucks. Get WOF at different places no problem.

hey thanks just the answer i was after which leads me to my next question.

Is there anywhere in NZ were i can buy a 'bits for vitz' style 2'' body lift with the sleeve bolts and solid lift blocks? or anyone on here capable of making one?

I found one from Australia, but the lift blocks are not the solid ones, im not sure but is this an issue in NZ?

local would be good, with the exchange rate and all at the moment
