Don't think it's suppose to look like this :(
« on: 02 April 2012, 14:19 »
Been noticing a noise recently but though it was just the arb rubbing. So decided to take closer look just now and noticed this  :sad:





Then good side



I'm hoping it's just a case of bolting it back in?
Is it an easy job?

Ie take wheel off, unbolt, slot back in, bolt up?

Thanks

I'm guessing it's snapped hard to tell.

Think I might just go gf's and buy some new ones?

It's confusing as I can't see anything broken... It just looks like someone has left it out

They don't look the same? Mine are a thin piece of metal between the 2 ends whereas the old ones are quite fat?

Googled and seemed to b right part :smiley:

should be okay as long as they're the same length (shorter would be better!)

Any idea what the torque will be when I tighten them up?
