Tony Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Mondeo ST 2007 Odd one this but becoming more common. This car has broken the rear trailing arm which is fortunately a redundant failure albeit a vital component. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4UL T Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Same car as I used to have! 😳 Nice to see HOTW back ðŸ‘🻠Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Tony. Please PLEASE keep HOTW coming. Missed it far too much. Can you provide more explanation around the break? It does not look in that bad a condition. Is there a hole drilled through the arm where it has broken (stress riser)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickT Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 As what others have said, keep HOTW updated, it'll be good to note for reference too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 The demise of HOTW was because i was to ill to work at the centre but well on the mend now so i've been putting some hours in. Looking at the metal it was a fatigue brake with the OEM drilled hole starting the failure. Sad thing is as these cars age i expect to see more of this and there's no chance of a recall.

Tony Posted May 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Not to sure... I think it's to clip the brake cable to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
