Splash guards might help retain moisture on the rear face of the disc by limiting airflow

[dbdb]

And those discs have had it btw.

They all seem to go like that, no idea why...

Iirc, I reckoned the splash guard is short at the bottom.
And you rekoned the caliper twists away under heavy breaking...?

If the rust eats in from the edge, as it looked on mine...why not both sides?

...in both cases, why doesn't it do it on both sides..? The splash guard would get the edge wet of both faces, although the face is slightly exposed inboard.

If the caliper twists, then the inside radiuos of the outboard face would suffer too.


Dunno either.

The insides may receive splash from the other wheel plus won't dry as quickly as the outside? Got an MOT warning on my two -  'rusted but not weakened'

Actually, I suspect the extra confidence is the problem there.

Some of the attempts in the MV6 inspire less confidence in the underpants arena, but I cannot shake the thing out of shape

Yes, I know, clearly not trying hard enough. But its reached the point my balls aren't big enough now 


Then I jump back in TBE. Oh dear......

Not as bad as I imagined, but IMO don't jack on the wb. Not worth the risk.

I wonder how the ride height compares with car on the ground, any measurement taken? Wheel to top of wheel arch?
I'd expect it to ride higher...?

No measurements taken. I'd expect it to be a bit higher, but not much. Will measure next time I do it.

That will definitely be forcing the balljoint in a way it's not designed or tested for

True, but it's a ball joint, strong in every direction except ball out of socket direction.

Be that as it may, it is another reason as to why jacking the car in that way is not good practice
