Re: mx73 cressida suspention ???

i have failed a WOF for that, so would guess its unsafe.

as for differences as long as they are both directional or asymmetrical (as above) AND have the same speed rating you will be fine, and if your car is 4WD ALL 4 tiers have to match as they are connected by an axle

interesting that it happens that often. considering you have to get both vin and number plates to issue the wof into the computer. and if the ks don't match it throws up a warning and the computer also tells you what year and colour the car is too. so you must have a sister ship out there or a very ...
