was driving down the bypass by tc and jakes house earlier when there was a

loud bang and i could not steer not good at 70 + in the fast lane :nugget:

managed to miss all the other cars and came to a stop before i hit

crash barrier

on inspection found the tie bar has come loose snaped the top ball joint and

twisted the bottom arm

opps

how close to barrier

[Jackman]

Glad your ok tho Scurvy, could have been alot worse.

top ball joint

[cowboy]

ooch, but at least its fixable..

and your OK,, any body work damage done mate?


:wales:

[Bungle]

if TC takes her broken cars to you to fix then take yours to her to fix

its only fair :grin:

Exactly the same thing happened to me 6months ago. I lost my wheel and it took the brakes with it! I hit the barrier at 65mph. Glad your accident was not as serious, and I hope you get it repaired ASAP.

luckly have braided hoses on the front so did not lose the wheel or brakes think a

standard rubber hose would have just ripped out will be repaired by lunch time

tomorrow will fit hi lo's and spax while am at it

[MrMini]

Glad to hear its getting repaired and even up-graded. :cool:

Ouch to both of you. Glad your both ok, can imagine it'd be quite scary loosing steering or brakes.

i lost a wheel and started laughing, because it had overtaken me imo it is a lot less scary than wheels locking up/aquaplaning etc.
