Aston Martin DB7 Coupe Common Problems and Solutions
Steering issue
Problem:
If you can feel a kicking sensation, as you drive round a mid-high speed corner, this is usually caused by faulty upper wishbone bushes.
Solution:
You will need to fit replacement upper wishbone bushes, in order to fix the problem.
Difficulty level
Rear vibration
Problem:
Have you been noticing any vibrations coming from the rear of the car? If so, these are most likely due to a faulty rear radius arm.
Solution:
Fitting a replacement rear radius arm will sort the issue.
Difficulty level
Water leaks
Problem:
Have you noticed water leaking into the front foot wells? If so, this could either be caused by a leak in the scuttle pane, or from a fault with the door seals. If it is the scuttle panel causing the leak, you will need to get this replaced asap, so that the cooling fan motor does not become water damaged.
Solution:
As mentioned above, if it is the scuttle panel causing the leak, this will need to be replaced asap, in order to avoid any damage to the fan motor, which would be costly. If it is the door seals causing the leak, they will need to be replaced. You will also want to dry out the front foot well carpets, to avoid any dampness setting in. Have a look at the video below:
