CT200h - OZ Wheels & Suspension Maintenance.

Needed an alignment done so figured it was also the best time to tackle some while there items. 

I had changed the axles over a year ago and over time I feel like I've been hearing a weird whirring noise which in my head could be tires, wheels or the axles. The aftermarket axles I put on did not have a dampener like the OEM axles do. So added that to the list of to change parts. Along with the axles I had new tires and my refinished OZ Wheels. In order for better rear camber and toe adjustability I got some Megan and Godspeed arms as well. 

Parts List:
Axle Front RH - OEM (43410-47031)
Axle Front LH - OEM (43420-47031)
Axle seal RH - OEM (90311-40037)
Axle seal LH - OEM (90311-50064)
Rear Upper Camber Arms - Megan MRC-SC-0510 
Rear Toe links - Godspeed AK-092-C
O.Z.  ALLEGGERITA HLT - 17 x 8 +48 ($383x4)
Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate 235/45R17 




Install was fairly straight forward, the rear toe camber bolt was seized so that took some finagling to get loose. After everything was on an alignment was done.  



Camber for front and back is at -1.75 and toe is at -0.10




Although there isn't much play in the hubs I think I'm going to add that to the parts list for the next round of maintenance along with  some new rear camber bolts, axle nuts and some new rubber insulators for the rear coil spring. Will need brakes in the next couple of months so that'll be a good time to change out the other parts also. 229k miles and counting!  Big thanks to Matt from IMW for doing all this work for me!
