Hi there,
One more broken alloy support here in brittany. Occured yesterday, I heard a "klonk" sound a few miles before. I parked the car to visit a friend (luckily for me he runs a bodyshop). A couple of hour later, I went off then heard a light grinding sound from the right rear wheel then apply handbrake very lightly to see if the sound was related to the brake and that's precisely when the **** hit the fan ! Here are the consequences for moving the car 30 yards.
Aside from the brake shoes, springs and cable, I'll go with second hand hub carrier.
I've spotted a "problem solver" part on skandix.de, it's a metal part that is screwed in lieu of the weak alloy support, may worth having one done by a friend, or a friend of a friend....
Drawback is, as mentionned by Clan, that the alloy support is acting as a fuse and avoid the wheel to lock as everything in there would turn and grind like in a tumbler destroying everything.
