Well yes, but it should never have got close to that to start with.
You got a front shock absorber gone or just tracking massively out?
Custom roll cages/shiny suspension bits/general fabrication work undertaken, PM me.
Top engine mount repair/reinforcement/chocking for cracked chassis and high powered cars, drive in, drive out, 2 hour turnaround.

Even though it was still changed straight away, which a lot of people wouldn't have done, how long we're you driving round on it like that? You don't know. Could have been hundreds of miles.
I'm not having a go, just don't understand how you couldn't see your tyre was bold? Haha.

My Skoda came with 2 shitty budgets on the front, brand new for the MOT. I don't like the idea of budgets on a FWD car with 210 bhp so I thought I'd give them some stick and kill them before the remap gets done...
Gone from brand new to 4mm in 5 weeks and 1800 miles! :o
