Broken A-Arm

[gjkrv8]

Hi Everyone,

Recently during some track time at Phillip Island with the CCCV I noticed my car would "move around a bit" especially at high speed on the straights

It was a very gusty day and I put it down to that. Did a quick check in the pits and everything seemed ok.

But when I finished the day the steering felt a bit spongy.

Upon a detailed inspection when I got home I found I had a broken passenger side A-Arm. I think it might have been cracked or fractured prior to the event - I had done my pre-race check and didnt pick it up. So not sure.

I contacted Dan at Classic Revival and he made me two new A-Arms and installed new bushes and lower ball joint. All in a relatively short time. Thanks Dan for great service.

Installed them both tonight and did a quick front end alignment check - need to adjust by 2mm, road test and all good.

I reckon those potholes on Melb roads were the cause of this, I've done 30,000Klms over 10 years.

Anyway, here's some pics. Heading off to Winton next week weather permitting for a test day, should be fun.

cheers

Gregg
