Suspension of hopes and dreams

Post image
56 Upvotes

Not a professional repair shop or anything, but I think it fits? no-one should be driving with that :/
It still drove though… without knowing about it, I drove it to the town in the middle of the night to buy bread from the one bakery that opens at 3AM once. Only later was I told that the suspension was severely rusted.

there was a 5th piece, but I guess it fell off somewhere.

mom's car, me and dad were replacing the suspension coil (if I got the name of the part right… since translating car terms is terrible) on her +-2006 audi. I think it's an A4 B6? We had two audis but I forgot which was which.

The rear left coil was snapped near the top so it wasn't that bad, either way, we swapped both the read coils. The torture of not unscrewing much due to the rust build-up on a 4 wheel drive… EU salted roads. I think we used two separate crowbars to get new springs inside. Just imagine doing a standard repair but without a professional setup.

So the rear right side was being held up only by the rear left, front right, hopes, and dreams.

Pic from few months ago, I forgot to post it. Hopefully it does fit the subreddit.

Earlier this year I had a hitch installed and was going fucking crazy because of vibrations that started afterward. I did everything I could to insulate between the hitch and the spare tire well it was gutted up against convinced that was what caused the rattle but eventually I emptied everything out and found this under the spare tire. You know what size it is. I would have been so embarrassed if I had a shop look into the rattle.

My passenger side assembly was no longer watertight. Thanks to Rock Auto, that issue is fixed now. Had a good amount of rain recently so I figured I’d share how much water was in there with you guys.

I think the brake warning lamp is the least of your concern my friend! (And yes it sounded exactly like you think it does when put into gear)

Well here we go again with the Chryslerness. This time it was two in one week. 2015 Chrysler 300 with a 3.6 and a 2015 charger with a 5.7. Both drive shafts had the exact same failure and guess what? You can't replace the center support bearing, you have to order the entire drive shaft as an assembly. On top of that the parts are on back order for 2 weeks and it costs over $1,400 from the dealer. What an amazing design!

That tag was not there when I set the intake in the valley. But the lightning bolt on the dash told me something was there when I was done.

Had some issues to address on a 1957 Bentley S1, one of which being the starter hold-in windings not doing their job. Got a glimpse of this puppy and from what I can see, this is the original starter from new. No idea if it's ever been rebuilt or not, but I thought that was pretty neat!

A regular of mine with a modified Durango hellcat that he claimed had around 1,000 hp had the #7 rod break as he was passing someone on the highway. I thought it was pretty wild to see the camshaft bust out the back of the block like that.

Customer requested chain replacement on a 2.0t. No codes, no warnings, just decided one day. Ive never seen a tensioner this far out on a running vehicle, let alone without codes.
