Met a bloke camped at the Jardine Ferry last October. He had a 75 Series which had done the same to one front mount - but when I saw him thundering over the corrugations a few days later, I'm not surprised he broke something.

So, you're not the first person to have this happen, but I don't know the fix - I guess you weld it back in place, then reinforce it?

Was that was Cape York Peninsula, if it was that’s just our good roads for you up here in north Queensland.

I thought the roads up there were pretty good. They were at least a month or two back.

I think it depends where you drive and also what speed you drive at the time, as to what the roads up here are like. I think you might know what I mean.
