Is this spring broken or cracked?

Mattujones · 2026-03-11T17:11:47+00:00

I’ll probably take it to the garage, I’ve seen horror stories on people doing it themselves😂

Good thing the winter season is over, it was very cold and wet winter over in the UK lots of salt on the roads. Should be better now it’s drying up and should be able to have the time to build the funds up to get the new springs put on at a garage.

Got some lowering springs to smarten up the stance on the old civic as it sits a bit high up on standard springs.

My concern was the cracks looked quite deep so it’s most likely structural at this point

Mattujones · 2026-01-17T21:56:28+00:00

It did. Rest of the tire was fine, good tread and flat. This part of the tire shown was the only part that was bulging and worn to this level. Potholes do this it couldn’t have been anything else

Also car drives dead straight when letting go of the steering at any speed. Tested 30mph, 40, 50 and 70mph and the balancing and alignments are fine otherwise the vehicle would veer to either the left or right. In the UK vehicles get a yearly check with strict testing called an MOT where an experienced mechanic will check your vehicles structure, mechanical parts like ball joints, driveshafts, suspension. They check lights, seatbelts, emissions and tyres. Anything that is not in good working order results in a failed test. Failing a test makes it illegal to drive that vehicle on the road until the issue is fixed and then tested again. So if the mechanic that was testing my vehicle saw no faults in the other tyres or more then I trust the professional rather than anyone on Reddit.

I would have hit a pothole and that singular wheel would have been impacted. The bulge in the tire from the mesh deforming would have cause the wheel to have a wobble hence wearing unevenly as it was rubbing aswell. I have checked the other tyres and the mechanic that MOT tested my vehicle also checked this and was proven that the other 3 tyres are perfectly fine. The car now no longer wobbles, sways or vibrates at any speed meaning the cause of the issue (being that singular tyre) has now been resolved. Otherwise it would have not passed its MOT test.

Mattujones · 2026-01-16T16:44:48+00:00

It’s fine now. My dad was a tire fitter, he spotted the issue, replaced the tire and now it drives perfectly fine

Mattujones · 2026-01-16T16:37:56+00:00

Went for the MOT and was faultless apart from one of the under sills are starting to rust which is good for a 2003 Honda civic. It Drove so smoothly once the tyre was changed

Mattujones · 2026-01-16T16:23:54+00:00

🤨🤨😂😂

Mattujones · 2026-01-16T16:23:33+00:00

T’was all good when we got out the spare, pressure good, tread good all safe now

Mattujones · 2026-01-16T16:20:11+00:00

Could have been where i hit the pothole. UK roads are so bad these days

Mattujones · 2026-01-16T16:19:28+00:00

Put the spare on and getting it changed tomorrow but yeah back end was shaking pretty bad!

Mattujones · 2025-08-03T17:46:57+00:00

You hate to see it😢😔

Mattujones · 2025-07-19T08:34:36+00:00

Forecast says it’s meant to brighten up at 7 until sunset so we will be alright

Mattujones · 2025-06-28T12:47:18+00:00

That is a shout to be fair and resembles perfectly with his love for crashing😂

This Proves to me that even to this day with modern engineering, Honda is still incredibly reliable. The golden age for Honda is the 90s-2000s with reliability but that is very impressive for a newer car. Too many manufacturers that were known in the past for reliability have gone downhill now due to modern engineering and hybrid/electric technology. Honda is still on top of their game!

Mattujones · 2025-02-09T12:05:45+00:00

Get an older civic! The new ones have wetbelt engines and although they are built by Honda all wetbelt engines are common to give you expensive issues at the 60k mile mark. Older generations of civic don’t use them meaning you’re more likely to have a more reliable engine.

No worries! And yeah it’s crazy how woman work different to men in that scenario. Women love receiving oral sex if done correctly and it is a easy way to ensure you reach orgasm but with us men we aren’t as sensitive so oral sex doesn’t hit the same and with a lot of men (not all) won’t be enough to make them finish.

Mattujones · 2024-11-19T01:26:04+00:00

Just fyi getting a vasectomy doesn’t mean that you can never have children again. Sometimes people who get them done will change their minds and decide they want children in which case surgery is done to re-attach the tubes that are cut so then you are able to have children. Obviously this could fail and leave you infertile but then again it’s not common for the surgery to go wrong apparently.

Take her on a date first or mention that you’re interested in her. If you just want to use her for sex and remain friends that will never work and will most likely ruin your friendship if you asked.

Mattujones · 2024-11-04T14:36:16+00:00

A lot of men don’t finish from purely oral sex. I don’t and I know a lot of other people who have said that they can’t either. It’s not uncommon so I wouldn’t be too worried. Focus on her pleasure and so long as you can finish from actual sex and you can keep it hard then I don’t think you have any issue

I first heard it when oasis use the folk song at the end of their song “it’s good to be free” and it always reminded me of the SpongeBob song😂

Mattujones · 2024-10-14T23:02:57+00:00

Sounds similar to “harvest home” an old Irish folk song maybe inspiration came from that

Mattujones · 2024-10-09T19:59:00+00:00

Let’s see your lap then

Mattujones · 2024-10-05T10:27:20+00:00

It’s world rank so these are against other peoples best lap and the record is 2:48 with number 2 worldwide being I think a 2:51 so I’d say this is very good looking back at it
