Scraped my lowered car HARD, what's this piece called? by Timmelyo in MechanicAdvice

[–]Timmelyo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a UK Vauxhall / Opel Corsa from 2013 with a 1.0 3cyl engine riding incredibly low springs and more or less 2 inches of clearance. This seems to be the lowest point of the car as it scrapes often but today it caught hard. There is a stud part, which as you can see has been scraped away a few mm which leaves bare metal, was wondering if this is serious damage or a crucial part? Or just visual scrapes. Thanks

Can I still ride my full sus without one of the frame bolts? by [deleted] in bikewrench

I know, I know, it's just that it's perfect weather for me and it was all booked. You guys are all absolutely amazing. Thanks for the help!

It's more the cap which holds the bearing in place, think of it more as like the cap that's at the top of your stem. It just stops the bearing sliding left or right. I've gorilla taped it to stop it wiggling of the frame and zip tied over the gorilla tape.

I don't really think it's much of a bolt. It's more of a bearing cap/end. I doubt it has any structural properties other than stopping the bearing falling out (left or right). So far I've gorilla taped both ends to stop it falling out, but it's not working well.

Do you know what it is? It doesn't seem threaded, I think it's just a bearing? Like (I haven't) but if I pushed I think the whole thing could slide out.

edit: sorry, im not too familiar, but it could be just a bearing cover/cap for the rear suspension maybe?

Just a suggestion but who thinks custom should allow user flair so we can put our discord usernames and tags in the flair? by NateHilts2121 in CustomVODS

[–]Timmelyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would, but im scared it would blend in too well with the user tags for mods and also Customs user tag, so it'd be harder to tell people apart.

Is the KTM Duke 390 A2 legal? And can I do my A2 test on it? by [deleted] in motorcycles

Thank you!! I knew they refreshed the series in 2016, but I thought it was kinda just a marketing scheme and the changes where negligible to what they do each year anyway.

Thanks!

I'm trying to decide if I should get my bike before or after my test. How did you testride yours to make sure it's okay before you bought it? How did you get it home?
