I've scraped wheels on the curb before, but DAYUM!!!

 

Wow.
Hit the curb so hard it spun the lug nuts off….

 

Yay... gotta replace that little hydraulic motor. Time to hang upside down by the undies to reach it!

 

Tightly whity’s or loosey goosies?

 

My daughter has a gift. The rear wheel wasn't much better. But I don't have a picture of that one.

Cost me 2 wheels and an alignment. Out of an abundance of caution I replaced the LCA which included a new LBJ and I also threw on a new outer tie rod before the alignment. The wheel bearing seemed fine.

That was 2+ years ago and many miles ago. Car drives great

 

They started out tight, but after hanging as long as I'm going to... they'll probably be flappin in the breeze!

 

Never did find those fookers!

I did find the hub cap a block away........in a trail of countless plastic pieces spread out over several yards.

 

I...

 

You know the fittings are tight when the big adjustables have to come out.

 

Better than getting out the smoke wrench

 

With how much sawdust and hydraulic is in this area? Might as well toss a Molotov in here and walk away!

 

Here's the reason the hydraulic motor is getting changed. That 7.5 hp motor was only 5 hours old.

 

Meh, good thing I'm not your coworker than. My first tool to get out is the torch

 

If I could, I would. Sadly since shift ended an hour and a half ago, nobody here to fire watch. We try to avoid any hot work after 1pm since there's nobody here from 4 pm to 5 am

 

Shit. Can you get some air to it?

 

Absolutely brother. No way that's worth it.

 

It was sitting at 115 up until the last 30 minutes of shift. Checked this hydraulic motor and sure enough it stb
