I thought I'd killed my old Combo suspension this week, I overloaded it buying materials (stone tray, 6 plasterboards , 1 18mm ply on roof, 3 bags tile adhesive, 1 drywall, plus all my usual squander.
I limped back to the house really slow and could feel the suspension groaning as I went up and down the unadopted pothole ridden track and parked on a really uneven bumpy slope which had turned into a stream because of the rain.
I got out and had a heart attack when I saw the back wheel was right up in the arch, I mean RIGHT up with the exhaust nearly touching the ground. I thought Oh God that's a spring gone or something, I couldn't do anything other than unload it and hope it would go back up but it didn't, my customer noticed and said that does not look good.
A recovery truck may have been able to get my out but neighbours cars were all over the place (does no one work?) so I reversed it really slowly onto a firm bit of flat ground and it seemed to level up and looked normal, I stuck my head underneath (probably not wise) and saw the spring was intact, it must have just been the way it was parked sort of tipping over not evenly.
Phew! panic over..
