OPC changed my control arms, front, both.

Problem was that they were squeaking and the noise was utterly annoying me - they found one of them to be loose and the other on the verge of breaking, so I decided to replace them.

New problem is that I feel the car less planted and at very low speeds ( 5 to 7mph ) the car leans to the right. Also I get from time to time I get some hard turning when I get feisty on the brakes.

Thing is - maybe this is normal and I had a perfectly setup car ? How anal should I be with OPC checking it ? The car drives well and only at very low speeds it is noticeable.

I checked in the car for checking this tomorrow but Im afraid that they'll return the car on saturday and say "oh its normal".


 
I assume they did a full geometry check after fitting the new control arms ?

If so they should have still on file their measurements, which should be in spec.

If they haven't done the geometry then i suggest you go outside the OPC - for the same money Chris Franklin at Centre Gravity, or Parr motorsport will do a much better job.
