Insignia built quality not up to scratch

[Steve]

Someone posted these up on VVOC today




Only 3 days old and 76 miles on the clock. The bottom balljoint hadn't been tightened properly. The car now needs a new wing, wheelarch liner, bumper, spoiler, full strut and hub assembly, a new tyre and a new undertray. How long before the recall starts then?

Oh heck, that ain't good

[Smudge]

Another reason not to buy one

Ohh shut up you know you want one as soon as there wearing a badge

[Smudge]

Nope!........Have warmed slightly to the tourer but cant stand the rear end of the cars

[Lynn]

Me neither!!!!!! Saloon is a slight improvement but wouldn't have one!!!

[Scott]

Slightly off topic, but the rear looks toooo like the hyundai coupe!, Back on topic though...

From that pic the pinch bolt is still in the hub carrier, so the BJ could not have "popped" out.....if its sheared has it been f ooked off a pothole?

[Steve]

The gist of it from the lad in the garage where it went to was that the balljoint had only been partially fitted through, so was only on the lower side of the pinch bolt. If that's the case, someone really f*cked up on the line!

agree with you there m8

I wouldnt have one, they just dont look like a vauxhall

If it was a pothole a cavalier or calibra would of smashed through it without a problem
