Dayeth Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 5 door, burgundy, P reg Vauxhall Corsa, split front axle or something, yours to be taken away if you have a tow that will take the front wheels off the ground. It just happened today out of nowhere and I'm moving to Glasgow in the next few days and just want rid of it.The body is in good condition minus a very small amount of rust that crept in last winter, its done 87,120 miles, brand new alternator in two months ago, new alternator belt in June, new brake pads at last MOT and is MOT'ed 'til August 2010.Phone Ross on 07742045831, need it shifted tomorrow or day after or it's just going to the scrap yard, which would be a shame.Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Shouldn't be too bad if you were to source a second hand axle from the scrappy, just labour costs you'd need to to worry about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatboy Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 when you refer to the front axle on a front wheel drive car it's actually the engine cradle which the likes of the wishbones are bolted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayeth Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Yeah, I'm going on what my step-bro said. Basically it started veering to the left, the tyre started slipping off, and something is bent. No idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 In layman's terms it's an axle. Wheels at either end. It doesn't matter that it's actually not an axle. That's just what some people will call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
