Default Quick IRS troubleshooting
Hi all,

Just bought myself an AUII Ghia with 195,000kms on it, and it has the dreaded IRS knocking issues, as you would expect of a car this age.

The symptoms are obviously knocking, and the mounts move like in Professor Farnsworth's video.

So does this mean the issue is definitely the upper mounts? Just wanna be sure before I go and spend $250 on replacements.

Cheers!
