Its disgraceful that people don't notice that kind of wear, or they do, but ignore it  ???

Then again, motherT failed to spot a rear shock was totally failed. Not just worn, but catastrophic failure.  ::)

A member had similar on both fronts, was quite upset when I noticed, as only been on 3 months. He had had it 4 wheel aligned on fitting - another example of why you shouldn't waste money on anything other than a full geo check.
