Camber awards - Stef205 - 05-05-2016
So as some of you know i rebuild axles. Been doing them for a few years now, not only do i enjoy doing them (sad i know) but enjoy hearing the storys. Id thought id comprise a list of the worst axles ive done. Feel free to add your own pics etc.
1) Sian
2) Sian
3) fooby
4) connor
5) rowell
These are my top 5 and these had to have other parts used to make them useable again.
Just thought this would make for a good giggle

So cambered it had worn though the arch liners and was seized solid.

I should have taken a pic of the beam on my latest estate, had totally collapsed and seized in a similar position to Ben's, couldn't get either of the mount bolts out.
RE: Camber awards - insomaniac45 - 05-05-2016
think its time mine had a rebuild
Starting to get some serious wear on the inside of my tyres
RE: Camber awards - Eeyore - 05-05-2016
Only 5th... That's disappointing....
RE: Camber awards - 306Dan - 05-05-2016
And I thought my old beam was bad, Ben's takes it to the next level.
I've a pic somewhere of a beam in a scrappy with 20mm spacers and it still wore the arch liner

I reckon the one on your old estate would have got a special mention for free play, i could move the trailing arm about 2" with one hand!
RE: Camber awards - Connor - 06-05-2016
I'm offended to be so low, are you thinking of the beam you actually refurbished for me? Or that one that was still on my car?
RE: Camber awards - Sian - 06-05-2016
Jesus how did I make that twice
RE: Camber awards - welshpug - 06-05-2016
my donor zx didn't have any more camber than it should have, but was seized enough for a shaft to come out of the arm!
RE: Camber awards - toseland - 06-05-2016
Sian already had the award for most shagged rear end..
have you pulled my axle apart yet to see how bad it was?
I think mine takes the biscuit for worst handling, it was like I had rotating castors on the back of it. Jonny was managing to get the back end loose at 20mph throwing it around like a loon

Impressive!

Pah my hdi axle was way worse than that. Was rubbing paint off the arch at the slightest whiff of a corner. Threw it straight into a skip.

My car's been sat for 10 months facing downward on an incline. No camber as of yet but um yep I don't have great hopes for the beam I doubt it's had any maintenance ever at 51k miles
