Default This was mine.

I changed this one when the wheel started to scrape the inner wheel well soon after I got the car.

Crikey that is bad - after the horror stories on here I had a really good look at mine last summer and jet washed them one week then wire brushed and rustproofed the next. But before bothering with all that I took a small hammer and checked everywhere I could for solid metal

Happy to say I found nothing but the nice "ring" of sold metal. I will be checking it all again this summer and applying another coat of wax ready for next winter.

I have heard that cars from the colder north of the country suffer more because of the road salt?? Not sure if that is true but when I jet washed mine out I was amazed at the sandy soil that came out.

A decent spray of stone chip will sort that out!

That is absolutely terrible in my time dismantling I have not seen one that bad, I guess the rear spring had not been fitted correctly and it's blocked the waterways due to poor alignment
Pretty shocking Mate
