How the hell does that even happen? It just looks like sand or something there. The only thing I can even think of is if somehow the underside and nothing else looks like swiss cheese.

The leaf springs jumped ship after a bad bounce, leaving the rear free to pursue other driveshafts?

But a Lada Niva is a 5 link coil rear end! Thats a LOT of links to break!

I'd put my bets on structural rust of the various links, their mount points, a very poorly chosen tow/recovery point mounting location, and/or the catch-all explanation "Russia." I think that about covers it.

apparently the mice wanted a ferris wheel  Unfortunately for them, my friend who found this in his clutch was having none of it and undid their hard work.

I wonder what that might have sounded like had the motor been cranked. Hell, I wonder what it might have smelled like. EDIT:  I even had to correct it after I wrote "sounded" the first time.

I thought it was just home-stereo wire but it could be factory. gently caress the PO of this car anyway; so many low-speed impacts to the front that it literally just fell apart when I looked at it funny one day, interior is filled with cat hair and dander from a stray they fed and took to the vet occasionally, decades of deferred maintenance on every suspension component.

That's the wiring for the crank position sensor, right? The blue stuff is just shielding, but it's normally hidden under the insulation, which usually gets crumbly and falls off due to a combination of oil, heat, and age.

I know anything from Harbor Freight is cheating a bit but.. They'll replace it without a fuss but I don't think I'll be using that set for anything but the lightest of duty stuff in the future.

The fracture makes me think there was a lot more stress on that one point where it was pressed into the socket adapter. I wonder if it's too tight a pressfit, or just a lovely fit and something was putting too much pressure there?

Perhaps that is why the high torque impact grade ones are single pieces instead of the bit insert type.

I recognized that connector and thought "hey, a 240!" before I saw the corrosion mess. I still really regret selling my nice 1993 244 with Virgos for $2100, which I was lucky to get at the time. Now all I see are unregisterable shitboxes for $800 or someone with a pre-US-facelift model who thinks it's a collectors item and wants nine grand for the clapped out mess. For content, I helped out a coworker last week who needed new front brake pads.  The heat coming off this wheel by the time she was parked in the driveway was unbelievable. pants in my pants fucked around with this message at 05:40 on May 19, 2014 |

And if it's a multi-engine train, and all the cars brake but one engine keeps on pushing, it can wear down in the tracks just like that.

Do machining disasters count? Yes, it's facebook but I don't know how else to share this video. Facebook link Guy on facebook posted:So I was in Houston looking at a new machine for our shop. I was working with the service engineer running the machine through its paces, basically beating the crap outta the thing to see what it is capable of. We were taking cuts on the face up to .750 deep, huge o.d. grooves, tool changes, all that stuff. The sales dude kept bragging about the 3 speed gearbox that has a max RPM of 650. The part in the chuck is roughly 7500lbs, machine has a 1600mm chuck just to give you an idea of scale. We were ramping up to 600 when this happened. At about 500 rpm she let loose. I thought I was dead. I thought for sure the service engineer was dead. The 90,000lb machine was moved about 6in. and every piece of sheet metal had to be replaced. Turns out, upon initial set up, they forgot one chuck key and determined that the one jaw slid out enough for the part to come flying out. In the end, the damage was completely cosmetic.

Imagine 2 or 3 pickup trucks spinning at 600 RPM in that thing, then being thrown into the side of the machine.

Not too horrible, but this is what a decade of cavitation looks like.  Pump came out of a media filter for a cooling water sump (think of it as a really big pool filter).
