I have had this car for nearly 4 weeks.

Customers story,.
The car suddenly veers to the left for no reason at about 90Mph.
And at 70 since the tyres were replaced by quick fit it wobbles
Doesn't want the car back until its sorted.

Tried different wheels off my car and still no joy.
Even measured run out in hubs etc etc.

I have driven nearly 100 miles so far and had no joy what so ever.
Wobbles yes,but no violent swerving

Then i was driving down the M1 this morning,when BANG,NSF wheel locked solid.
Managed to get it to the hard shoulder with a 50 pence Nsf brand new eagle F1 tyre.

Got it back to the shop





Ripped the bearing clean out the diff and through the casing.
Had to change my trousers,but cant believe this drove with the visco like that.

Whats the mileage on the car John?

56,000 turbo plus

me running.....

that's an interesting one.. Does the customer drive it hard?

Not at present, he doesn't...

That's impressively out of shape. I never did like viscous couplings.

No,neither did i.
Although admittidly i could smell gear oil everytime i drove it.
Level was always spot on and i did note that the box was leaking through the Nsf seal.
Hes very happy that the fault reared its head as he was going to get rid of it as it was ''dangerous''.
Theres 1/4 mile black line northbound on the M1 between 23 and 24 veering from the fast lane to the hard shoulder..
Very scary moment.
I had to cut a cement lorry and a Merc up.Close call.

I really would like to know what has caused that.

Scary!

Full bore starts?

Any play in the bearing which holds the driveshaft in the middle?
