Cedric the shackle reversed. In other words, the suspension extended on a bump, and when it compressed again, the shackle pivoted backwards instead of forwards. The result of this is that it firstly bends the main spring blade, and secondly it stops against the chassis and limits suspension travel, which would soon break that main spring blade.

The reason for this happening (and thus my caption) is that the spring pack was bent in order to lift the suspension, which effectively makes the distance between the two shackles too short.

Great Pics,

:coolphotos: :coolphotos: :coolphotos: :coolphotos:


Some news on Andrew's Troll. It is back at the installer and they are busy repairing the damage. He should have it back in a week or two. Many of us did not know that the troll has a different hub set up to all most all other vehicles. The only way we learn is from our mistakes, so I presume we have all learnt a lesson from this.
