came into work this morning, just off the a19 roundabout, steering went a bit light, figured it was some diesel or such?
3/4 secs latter, loud grumbling noise
stopped the car, FNS wheel at a funny angle, jacked it up, and gave it a wiggle, **** the wheel bearing has collapsed
i am less then 1/4 mile from work, easy i will just drive slow and damage a set of front brake pads, errr nope, 3/4 secs after that the fooken cv joint has snapped, the hub nut has fallen off and the wheel is locked
recovered back to my parents house, looks like i am spending the evening after work taking things apart
looks like it needs
hub bearing
cv joint
brake disc
pads
probably tracking as well
good job it never fell apart on the a19 as i was moving a bit "fast"

Hi everyone will be at Well lane on Sunday, my mate just got a Leggy estate trubo and is coming down aswell any convoy going to well lane, hope we can call in at elvington aswell on the way back sounds like a canny day of fun to be had.
Wow Mickey could of been fatal at speed, we had 5 alloy wheels nuts fail on the rally car and the wheel fell of as we were aproaching a flat crest into medium right and got a bit hairy, managed to dent the wing and brakethe wheel, Just a cautionary note to anybody tempting to use alloy wheel nuts, they are **** and to be avoided.
Hi Martin did you manage to get in touch with chris Mann and get me and my mate confirmed for Sunday.
Hows everybody else doing?
Does anybody want some brand new pure slick tyres in 16Inch fitment got these of a mate but are no use for tarmac rallying as we have to use a moulded slick so best offer for some ultimate track day weapons for your beloved beasts. Can deliver within reasonable distance or meet at well lane or elvington.

i do remember reading a thread in projects, that mentioned alloy nuts and i believe somebody questioned one of the manufacturers regarding life.
from what i remember they never gave a proper answer and replied that some people use them for one season and some people use them for one rally only>?
