I also noticed on a past thread about 2 seater MC stradale’s that someone made a roll cage for it? I’d like to go down the route of cage and harnesses if anyone knows the supplier?

generally only when moving. Floating disc is a good shout. Actually as one is cracked maybe that will resolve it? Lewis

Thanks for all the well wishes. Only gremlin I’ve found is a noise when shifting load on the rear axle - either changing gear slowly, or moving into drive or reverse. I’ve read about worn drive shaft splines, wondered if it could be gearbox mounts? Something like that.

Hopefully fortune favours the brave - I’ve bought the car. I’ve had 5 masers, currently have a GS, also a few alfas and a Ferrari. I’m a Mechanical Engineer by trade, not scared of working on cars and run a car themed meeting venue in the Peak District (ignition cars and coffee). The guys...

Thanks, that's a good shout.

well I've just added another car to my garage. Its a Maserati Ghibli Mk3 (cough,deisel,cough) which replaces a BMW as my daily driver. I now have a totally Italian garage consisting of an Alfa Romeo 147 GTA, an Alfa Romeo 916 GTV V6, a Maserati Gransport and now the Ghibli. The car is pretty...

to be honest I have my concerns about Giallo - they car has had 10's of 1000's spent there in the last few years and Im very surprised at some of the things I've discovered considering the recent work that had been carried out. It had over £10,000 spent there last April alone, I bought he car a...

It’s all set up Correctly - wheels in the right place etc (I’m not a total idiot, just look like one) just doesn’t look right. They car even had a full alignment at Giallo when it had the clutch done last year. I now know of 3 cars with this problem - I suspect it’s subframe alignment.

Interestingly I just read up on a Porsche forum that this is a common issue - the guys there run slightly different spacers without any noticeable issues apparently.

So does anyone know if this is adjustable? I now know of three cars that have this issue so would appear there must be adjustment or very poor tolerances during the manufacture of the subframes.

I thought about that but assumed it would ruin the handing?

So it would appear it’s a thing, thanks for char king yours @jasst It’s doing my head and is the only thing I can see when I look at the car now. I want to fit spacers so each wheel would fit nicely in the arch But that will make it more obvious that one is right and the other not.

I used a spirit measure today hung from the wheel wheel arch to measure distance to the wheel center from a line perpendicular to the arch. Left side was 36mm, right side 44mm. Tyre to line in left was about 11mm, in the right more like 25mm. Does anyone else have this?

Yes width ways - used 15mm spacers and the difference is significant - at least 10mm.

I didn’t need to do that. Fitted 20mm spacers, one side sits perfectly just inside the arch, other side sticks out by 10mm at least. Has new PS4’s on rear.

I had that on my 105! Your right.

Very strange. Is it possible this is just how the body fits the chassis?

Is it possible for the rear subframe to be out, do the bolt holes allow for movement?

I would have assumed that, but not as both cars have had the same issue. I’d be interested to know if anyone else has spotted this. I only noticed when fitting spacers. Also All paint is original on the car according to my detailer so I don’t think that is possible.

The car was fully aligned following a clutch change last year at gallio. I just find it strange that the two Maserati’s I have had have the same issue.
