Pop From The Rear Followed By Tyre Smoke And Horrible Sound

Recommended Posts

Well that was interesting,

Just driving across town and there was a pop from the rear followed by a serious rubbing noise, looked under the rear arch and the shock bottom collar had parted ways and was being forced against the tyre.

Luckily there was a brand new rear strut in the boot when I bought the car ( coincidence?)

Just looked all over the car (went to spray wd40 on what I expect to be seized) to find three new shocks already fitted, hmmm this is getting interesting :)

Looking through the paperwork it needed three shocks to pass the last Mot and had the last one as an advisory, guess the previous owner just hadn't got round to it.

Yeah I can understand that feeling, its pissing down with rain and the nuts holding the hub in place came off easily enough, but getting the bolts out is an entirely different Morphy Richards of haddock,

What a pain in the cock this is turning into. :(
