You ever seen this?

[drumad]

Its an original strut tube. Has 200k+ on it.

I guess I should rephrase my question. By design, how is the tube attached to the knuckle? Somewhat related/unrelated to situation.

[Danny]

Its stock, so however that is done, pressed I guess?

Yeah I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary but I don't really know, it happened very quickly.

damn now im going to be more careful. glad your alright

[drumad]

Perhaps, bc of this, itll encourage us to reinforce the joint and weld a bead where the tube meets the knuckle. Anywho, glad to see you made it out ok. This surely could have been way worse.

Is that considered a r3v?

Nope. He has tread.

[Bimmerista]

Is that considered a r3v?

No...he still has all 4 wheels on the road.

Shit, that must have been fucking crazy. Glad you are all good! Going coils now?

[Danny]

It already has coils.

[hyperE30]

That suck man.. but good thing nothing else happened as said good shit at handling the car at that speed and come to a safe stop!!

[Dj Buttchug]

I just saw the thread about you asking what to go with a bit back. Did not know what you got.

Did it fuck the new goodies? I know the Bilstein is done.

1+ I have the suspension on the build out, so I am going bust out the welder and see what can be done. Tracking this every other weekend, this is what I fear of happening. Something shitting out and into a wall you go.

Naw, the springs are fine. Need new shocks though LOL

Nah, get some oil and fill the tube back up. Then tap the cap back on and duct tape the fucker xD Or JB weld

[clavinZERO]

Glad your safe. I vote for only a 1/2 "r3v" based on all arguments given. Fix it already, gosh.

[ck_taft325is]

Yikes.

Where'd this happen?
