Sunstorm now off the road

Post by MGTFMAN » Mon Jul 17, 2017 10:36 am

Last month my bottom ball joint went on me and had to be recovered home. It's now sorn off road and stripping it all down at the front and changing all ball joints and generally refreshing the car. Long old job but hoping to get her back on the road in the next 4 months. Then will possibly sell.

Hope you are not going to miss all the summer weather?

How did the ball joint fail? Usually they'll display excess play rather than fail in a spectacular way?

It just collapsed one morning driving to work. Not good, happened just as I come off the duel carnage way.

Oh yes luckily I had just left the duel carriageway.
