suspension components and corrosion part 1

These where taken from a 2002 nissan micra,rear suspenstion.

The top photo is an image veiwed through a mirror which shows that the excssive corrosion has eaten into the component around the lower part where the coil spring sits.

The bottom photo is just as you would see it veiwed as you where looking towards the inside of the rear wheel, the hole is just to the right of the bottom shocker bolt attatchment.

At 1st, due to the surface crap that had built up it did not look too bad,removed the dirt with a wire brush and the holes appered with a bit of finger/thumb pressure.

We know these micras suffer a lot from body/structure corrosion and these cars are getting on a bit now so its worth giving these a throrgh inspection and watch out for this defect.
