If you hit one, your spring cup might collapse and dig into your tyre.

Well, that f-d up my weekend.

Oh crap ....that looks like a newish tyre aswell.

Whoops.

Not sure what to think about it because you didn't show the photo of your spring cup. I assume it was not new in which case the title of your topic should be "look what happened to my tyre because I let my spring cup rust to flakes".

Ouch thats not good!

Happened to mine when I had my Felly, was slowing down from 70 rather rapidly and the steering went crazy, got home to find this!

Creaking front-end
Skoda Superb Mk3 (2015 - 2023)

Creaking front-end

travs · Monday at 12:294 days

History is that since the coilovers were done, the front-left top mount has aways creaked on turning; classic top mount sound of juddering movement. I've tried rotating the spring a little in case that's a difference but I need to do try some more just to make sure I haven't forgotten anything. In the meantime, the front right has developed a creak which is different. It's a heavier creaky rubber feel to it which is triggered on minor movement/weight shift. Going over speedbumps obviously makes

Rear silencer recommendations for 2011 1.2 TSI 105BHP hatchback.

Rinky380 · Wednesday at 08:592 days

Hi there, my rear box has finally given up the ghost so I'm looking for a half decent replacement. I don't want to fork out for a genuine OEM one as the seem quite pricey. In the past I've bought exhaust parts from a manufacturer beginning with a K and found them to be really poor. A mate of my son works in their technical department and he says he wouldn't use them. So if anyone has any suggestions of makes and suppliers they've found to be good quality I'd love to know. Thanks in advance.

Metallic rattle when going over potholes

Alan_C · 15 hours ago15 hr

Have a listen to the audio & share your thoughts. I've replaced both wishbones & anti role bars a couple of months ago. This rattle started about a week ago & is progressively getting worse. The right hand tyres is wearing on the edges, both inside & outside. Turning the teering wheel on a flat road doesn't create the sound. Only when driving over drains or potholes. I've had on ramps and had the wheel off. I can't see anything obvious Skoda front suspension rattle.mp3

Hi guys My Octavia 2 FL makes rattling noise on rough asphalt, exposed stones, small cracks. Brakes, system ATE, disc 280mm, pads Febi 16328. When I press brake pedal quiet. When release rattling comes back. I even replaced one rubber sleeve. New Febi sleeve is more loose than orginal ATE Skoda OEM sleeve. I replaced guide pins for brand new ATE. MOT in March nothing in suspension. I know sway bar link clattering noise. I think left side is louder than right or it is noise from left wheel. Any
