The tin top has just had to get a piggy back ride on a recovery truck
Somethings gone in the rear axle, feels like the wheel bearing may be gone but also by grabbing the wheel
I can make the half shaft rattle around in the diff.
Doh!

Well to top off my day of stuff not going right

Re: the ride of shame
Nasty. Sorry to hear that bud.
I'd of edited the story "so there was a loud bang and we came to a grinding halt. I jumped out to inspect it and a rear wheel was all wobbly. I grabbed my handy tin of WD40 and tool box from the back. Using a collection of spares i had in the back i did a quick road side repair in under 3hours in the dark and driving rain. I got it away but anything more than 20mph and it vibrated like hell. Another hour to drive the last 15mile home but we made it."
Bit "jazzy", i know. But the shame, a recovery truck.

There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Re: the ride of shame
I'm sure dan could dig out a good photo of field repairs being done in the warzone of salsibury plain for a bit more realism.

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out
Re: the ride of shame

i guess the yellow sami is donating its axle for the time being

Re: the ride of shame
Sounds like it's probably the side bearing in the diff, but it may have screwed the wheel bearing at the same time.
