Grandad's photos

Thought you might like to see what I found when I adjusted the toe-in on the MX5 after the WoF man noticed the front wheel out of alignment, and the alignment people subsequently found a bent lower arm on the front suspension. It would be caused by hitting a kerb or rock.

The 'rack end' (a critical part of the steering) has a lock nut that had been wound back to cover a crack, resulting from the previous owner bending the rack end straight after an accident, thus saving himself $31 and for 6 months exposing us to sudden failure, no steering and a swing to the right for a head-on crash.

I am planning on the culprit getting a visit, and an explanation of how it would feel in a coroner's court, charged with manslaughter. Will keep you posted.
