Challenges, nice work with the tyres, and yes that axel does have some banana like qualities, any idea what did it, mind you like you mention it may well be more cost effective to keep whacking tyres on rather than searching for and then fitting a new axle, we love you see the positive in some muppet back ending your wife's car yeesh.
We've just sent our C124 in for wheel refurbishment, looks like we have a wheel theme going, thank you for sharing @bozz . Looking forward to reading more of your adventures.
Thanks, I appreciate it! I figure if I can get another five years out of these tires I don't really mind having to replace them. I try to keep them in good condition with Armor All and stuff like that, but when they wear funny, there isn't much you can do. I am not sure what would have done that to the axel. Likely I ran over a curb or something. Who knows!
