Then about a week later they came back to me and said they had "found" the new part numbers and they are now on order.

When they come in they will be replacing them and fixing the "Seam Creak" issue in the left rear passenger area.

It took my dealer about 5 days to organise after I supplied them with the PUMA warranty case number, that Ian supplied.

It actually only rubbed on a full right lock with a slight gradient in the road surface.. Will test it out tonight at Rhodes, where it always rubs.

My main purpose for replacing, was that I am considering going wider on the front and back tyres, and just wanted some peace of mind.(255/275)

Is that including getting the parts in? I've been waiting a month or so now... It's not really a big deal for me yet as, like you, they only rub on full lock going into a driveway or such...

Looking to do lowering springs though and at that point I expect more of an issue. Also plan to go one size larger front and rear when I get new tyres...

Took 5 days for the parts to arrive after I supplied the PUMA number.

Then dropped off the car this morning and picked up at 1.30pm.

Same here with the wider tyres.. Just insurance I guess.

I had the occasional rub and was concerned it was mechanical until I saw this thread a few weeks ago. It doesn't faze me now. You reckon I should still get it replaced nonetheless?

You might aswel Donald.. Just book it in with your next service like I did.

Checked my updated fenders last night.. Gives about another 5mm clearance at full lock, which comes in handy with lowered springs.
