Not nice, but would have traded places....
Nice deep pothole, nearly ripped the right hand front wheel off! The bottom wishbone dislodged and driveshaft disconnected. Wing dented etc. Replaced all the damaged parts (bottom wishbone, rear mount, stabiliser link, xenon leveling lever, put driveshaft back, new front tyres and alignment) and it soldiers on like it didn't happen for over 50.000km now. Alloy escaped miraculously. |

In the I end took the opportuniy to just replace all four as the rears would have been close to the limit in a few k miles. |
Ouch Brutal. :eek: I don't know about you guys but every time that happens to me it's always the best tyre on the car that gets ruined, It's never the tyre that needs replacing anyway:devil:

All four tyres were replaced late last year. so only done 3-4k ish. :duh:
But.. On the bright side, I am off down to Poole in Dorset soon, so will be clocking up a lot of miles. There were a few damaged wheels in the corner of the garage waiting for the scrapman to call. mainly wheels with skinny tyres on... :mad: ... |
