Whats the chances of this happening???
« on: 06 June 2012, 20:22 »
Last Friday on the way back from getting my tracking done there was a huge bang under the car i stopped and walked back down the road to find this. i assumed i must of ran over it and it hit the bottom of my car.




Today on the way home from shopping again a big bang under my car, but the road was clear and i stopped walked back down the road to find this. The both slot together like a puzzle.




What are the chances the garage left them attached to my car after doing the tracking? its a 18mm socket :-/   or am i just really unlucky?

Very good chance they did leave it there but not sure why they would need an 18mm socket to do the tracking. Were they doing the camber? Just keep it and add it to your tool collection  :wink:

I wouldn't worry about the loud noise it made. Just wait till abiggish stone goes under your lowered car at speed, that fecker will make you jump!
