Not many people have because there&#8217;s not many around. Even rarer than\u00a0 Honda Jazz are parts for a Honda Jazz.<\/p>\n<p>Most of these old jap cars have rotten away long before they reach the Retro Cool status that this little town car has achieved. It came to us for a little exhaust work and some of the inevitable welding that goes into owning an old car. To be fair it was in very good condition, just a patch or two here and there followed by a liberal dose of waxoyl. \u00a0The main problem was the bottom ball joints in the front suspension. They are as rare as the preverbial teeth from a hen and when we did find some they cost more than the car did. The solution was to break out the parts catalogue and get welding.<\/p>\n<p>We found that some Peugeot ball joints had the same dimensions so the lower arms were measured and moddified to take some bolt on ball joints. It takes a whole lot longer to do than it does to say but we&#8217;ve done this several times on track cars to get more camber on them and the results speak for themselves.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"DSCF1681\" src=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/DSCF1681-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF1681\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-245\" title=\"DSCF1682\" src=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/DSCF1682-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF1682\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/DSCF1682-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/DSCF1682-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another retro cool car in need of help<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[106,28,4],"tags":[115,69,42,35],"class_list":["post-243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aa-sport","category-garage-services","category-general","tag-classic","tag-honda-jazz","tag-suspension","tag-waxoyling"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":553,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243\/revisions\/553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/aasilencers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
