pre and post trip safety checks

[christover1]

It's really worth having a look around your car before and after trips.
Was checking the diff oil when I noticed a 5mm gap between the rear spring and the perch.
A u-bolt nut had stripped, allowing the other 3 to slowly wind loose.
Leaking oil from the axle housing probably helped them along.
Wondered where I could feel the clunking from.
All fixed and all other spring related nuts/bolts front and back have been checked, now we are ready for the Zook Club Cup trip.
On the funny side, I'd had a haircut, shower, shave and shampoo, put clean clothes on then just finished up werking on the Zook

We'll forgive you for that, but have you got that front diff locked up yet?

A more thorough safty check, would of saved me from the misshap I had on AT05, when I shot a break pad, blew a rear wheel cyinder and rolled off at great speed down fence line track with no breaks
It pays to check, and double check

Trees stop zooks

You have a good point, I was out that way recently, and had a look at the battle scars on the Mock trees. Some trees don't stop zooks, but the bigger ones do
The funny side of Mocks excursion through fence and trees was...we fixed the fence, only to find it ended at bottom of the hill and obviously hasn't been used as a fence for a long time

yep. the fronts all locked up.

just gutted that i didn't have time to fit the gears and bed them in, they look pretty sweet though
