Saw this whilst browsing the bay of e 58 plate Ka spares or repair.Quite shocking for a 12yr old car even if it's a Ford

On a 12 year old Ka, it's a surprise those bits still have something to attach to. Unless they're like a lot of old XJs where the IRS was held in by gravity acting on the body above it.....


Try looking under a grey import from Japan sometime, the narrower Previas often have rotted through semi-trailing arms

The leaking shock clearly didn't help stem the rust

Rust flakes destroyed the oil seals?

[Doctor Gollum]

Rusted through from outside by the look of it

Although I would wager that the shock bolt is rusted solid

Those hateful KAs have loads of rust issues, where else have you seen a commonly used repair panel for the fuel filler......just one of the many tin worm spots on them.

It's the MK2 shape 09 onwards which is what surprised me.

but that's really a Fiat. Which still haven't shaken off the rusty reputation they used to deserve
