Hilux 4x4 Forum

BF's are 265/75/16 all 3 are in good condition. will measure the tread and see how much is left.

it was surprisingly un-dramatic. The big issue would have been if there was on comming traffic since i drifted into the other lane for a few meters. I think I was lucky the way the wheel ended up wedged under the car instead of stuck in the arch or trying to make its way through the body, I think it...

Lower joint is still attached to the control arm tho it was bone dry.

If you look in the second pic you can see the upper ball joint snapped. @caskru are you referring to the rod in the first pic? If so that was from the tow truck.

So there I was driving along quite happily when BANG! My front left tyre got tired and decided to lie down. Now it seems it was caused by the upper ball joint snapping but there were no funny noises or vibrations before it went? 20130616_191010 (Custom).jpg 20130616_180817 (Custom).jpg 20130616_1808...
