craig is on a distinguished road
Default Broken rear wishbone!

Hi,

I was driving tonight about 65mph on a staright road approaching a slight left hander so backed off the throttle as I started to enter the corner and the rear of the car very nearly went!!

Very very scary stuff at that speed! I pulled over and inspected the rear to find a broken rear wishbone in exactly the same place as Rich h's car.....





This is far too much of a coincidence and really makes me think about what could have happened if it had totally gone?? As you can see the crack is about 2/3 of the way through.

As it's a weekend I have not contacted marlin yet so will wait and see what they say as two going in the same place is very serious and I certainly would not entertain driving my car again on the same replacement wishbones

My car has only covered 1300 (road) miles and never seen a track!! wishbones should last the life of a car.

Thanking my lucky stars tonight!!!!

Craig
