Right two weeks ago i was messin about and skidded out, hit the kerb and it was quite a thud and i bent the rear axle. (my own fault i know). Anyway after i fixed it last there has been a noise which i found out yesterday was the rear drum bearings. So today i set about fixing them, and all was hunky dory until i was driving down the dual carrigeway and BANG. The bearings exploded, and the tyre worn down to the bone. Just before i did the axle i needed a new cv boot, and new brake pads.:cry:
So tomorrow ive got to get another set of bearings and a new tyre, no wonder i can never save up for new stuff:cry:
