Alright, Sitrep.

Front left airbag strut blew on Friday.

Drove to Blacktown and grabbed a second hand one on Saturday.

Drove home and replaced strut on Sunday.

Everything turned out great...too great.

But me happy, check.

Drove to Putty Road on Tuesday.

Road closed till 4pm, me not happy.

Went and got lunch and came back when it opened and started having a blast.

Me happy again.

End of Putty Road left airbag strut blows and gets surrounded by Newcastle bogans wondering if it's a V8.

Air seems to be gushing around this area.

Several hour limp back to Sydney while every bump on the highway makes the tyre grind against the arch.

Minute I get into Sydney I hit a pot hole and come to a grinding halt.

Following morning, literally almost can't move now.

End result:

Seems to have ripped out of the socket and also I think it may have bent the air hose when it came up.

In all, great trip.

I love this car to bits ( pun ) and I love working on it, but it's just seriously taking the last straws now and my bank account is getting lower.

Sooooo anyone got a Left Front Airbag Strut for sale? :-)

Most likely they were Maitland bogans - much worse than Newcastle bogans .

That sucks having to go down the F3 on a space-saver. How was the drive up Putty Rd? I've always wanted to give it a go but I'm told there's often speed traps (hwy patrol).

Putty was amazing, long corners with long straights then develops into hairpins. I went on a Sunday afternoon \ night so there was just me and the road.

Didn't see a single highway patrol.

I probably wouldn't recommend it on a Friday \ Saturday night as it's pretty much Maitlands Nurburgring. :-)
