You've got to love Sydney Roads

Springs, shock absorbers, swaybars,
Brakes, Wheels and Tyres

Actually not supprised this has happened... In fact, I'm supprised it hasn't happened more often! Everytime I get my tyres changed I always ask them if my rims are still straight... Touch wood I've been find so far.

Roads around Sydney are crap (As we all know)... Roads out west (Especially in the newer developments) as very good. Roads in the Shire aren't too bad (Lowered car friendly when compared to most places IMO) but I have to agree with Jim Boy... Roads in the Eastern suburbs are crap!

Went to pick up my Mrs from her office (East Balmain) & it was aweful! Not to mention I almost got my wing mirrors removed by buses as the roads were far to narrow.

Roads in the North Shore are not too good either, particularly around Mosman and also the Pacific Highway!

btw would insurance cover you for this?


I hadn't thought about insurance - I'll give them a call. Thanks for the idea!
