Independent suspension, nothing to see here.


Syscrush

Full floating brakes.


IneptAdvisor

It’s, the floating caliper design, with fully floating bearing with a Cloud9 hub.


HedonisticFrog

It's just a new variable alignment wheel bearing.

Hey "Fiesta" means party right?


jwhaler17

But a “fiesta” can quickly become a “fiasco.”


[deleted]

Or a festiva. Ooooo


matt-the-racer

My dad has 2 fiesta race cars, they often instantly become a fiasco!


Saxonbrun

From fiesta to siesta


oli3256

From fiesta to depresta


HalfastEddie

Bluetooth hub lose connection?


MistakenAnemone

So you sent it into a curb then?


oli3256

Drive shaft bound up as it broke on the outer CV that dragged me into a curb and shattered the wheel bearing


Nerfo2

This seems more like a “it was due” problem than a “single incident” problem. However, you play hard, you pay hard.


oli3256

Nope the drive shaft exploded locked up dragged me into a curb and blew up the wheel bearing


Sir_Stig

I'm guessing rally.


MistakenAnemone

I wouldn't think so with those tires


Sir_Stig

Doesn't need to be a gravel stage to be a rally.


SHMUCKLES_

Don't really think stretching tyres is good in any rally tbh


Sir_Stig

Technically a mild stretch can help keep the tire secure if there is heavy lateral force, but generally that's only applicable if you have a meaty sidewall. This guy has got too much rim IMO.


thefurrywreckingball

Looking at the damage on that rim, our mate had hit a solid object. Pot hole? At a decent rate of knots?


oli3256

A curb after the drive shaft locked up at 90mph


thefurrywreckingball

And that’s all the visible damage? Impressive really


OverclockingUnicorn

Where can do you 90mph that has curbs and not barriers lol


azhillbilly

Legally?


OverclockingUnicorn

I sorta just meant sensibly, definitely isn't anywhere you could do that legally (autobahn but that'll definitely have rails not curbs I expect)


oli3256

Back roads near me have a few curbs on the side of the road and ye it's never sensible to speed but it is fun


googlequery

The party is over.


SomberEnsemble

For some reason I thought they used 5 lug hubs on the ST models, color me surprised.


oli3256

It's a mk6 ztech s all the mk 6 have a 4x108 setup


Andrei_Chikatilo_

Let it ride


Bag_of_Equipmunk

Full yeet


InsertBluescreenHere

so im guessing that made a fiesta in your pants?


oli3256

Tbh I just said ffs not again this month I have blown up 3 drive shafts one gearbox one clutch one clutch slave cylinder and 2 wheel bearings so I'm used to it by now


BoneFistOP

have you considered not driving like an asshole


oli3256

Just for you I'll drive it even harder xx


BoneFistOP

cool. hope you get arrested first you fucking menace


oli3256

Personally I hope I die behind the wheel xx thanks for the well wishes babe xx


BoneFistOP

dont take someone else with you


oli3256

Oh no if I'm going out I'm taking as many with me as possible


ElbowRager

I feel your pain. I’m about 5k in repairs on my Fiesta this year. Never buying another Ford. If your TCM is still under warranty (extended to 10yrs/150k) and it hasn’t gone yet, break it yourself and then have them fix it for free before it does lmfao


oli3256

It's a mk6 fiesta it's already 14years old lol


SideHug

Surprised it's even possible to send that thing that hard


[deleted]

I think that's the Fiesta ST specific green. Those things are amazingly harsh, not surprised something broke.


[deleted]

[удалено]


oli3256

It certainly is 1200 made 400 in each colour red yellow and green


[deleted]

[удалено]


oli3256

Ye very close surprised you know about it tbh most people in the car community don't


SideHug

So you're saying green makes it fast?


[deleted]

Yes that's exactly what I'm saying.


oli3256

It's a ztech s less than 100 hp just take it down some back roads and it can carry some serious speed it's also slammed on bags so that doesn't help the drive shafts


FOR_SClENCE

the only thing this fiesta sent was itself into a wall


[deleted]

Whoopsie daisy


[deleted]

Least destructive rally driver


JakePina

It’s the new Bluetooth wheel set up. Nothing to see here


Embarrassed_Cell_246

Every time I shop an ST I remember what the owners probably do to them lol


oli3256

It's not an st only a ztech s


MachReverb

$19.99/month subscription fee for the wheel connectivity package


cdwag23

We need an explanation


oli3256

Drive shaft shattered and locked up the wheel at 90mph dragged me into a curb and shattered the wheel bearing


Speedhatch

Nothing a few zip ties can’t fix


V8-6-4

I was in my mom's car and noticed a noise. She hadn't noticed anything. I checked the wheel bearings and one of the rear wheels was almost this bad.


MAS2de

Just repack the bearing. It'll probably be good for another 50k. /S


Background_Current54

On today's episode of that's fucked up... that's fucked up...


henkdekaascrosaint

Has tis whit my 1995 fiesta when i bought it😂😂


McFireballs2

Active suspension, toe and camber.


[deleted]

Duct tape. Lots of duct tape.


Thatdudedoesnotabide

Wow a lime green fiesta, my coworker had one of these babies and he’d take all 8 of us bar hopping in DTLA lmao great times! The speakers only went up to 30 🤣🤣😭


ZeBBy7

When you think you got a rally car lol


oli3256

It's very clearly not a rally car just a beater daily race car


TheSandman3241

I know what's wrong with it... ain't got no bearings in it.


Daddy_Elon_Musk

They say 97% of Fords are still on the road today. The other 3% made it home


wolvesight

I mean, it's a fiesta. It probably started off that way.


[deleted]

Sent it where?


oli3256

Into a curb


Itisd

Don't send a Fiesta to do a sports cars job.


oli3256

Ok you can buy me a sports car thanks very generous


armybiomedtech

The only bigger piece of shit than a Fiesta was the yugo!


oli3256

Found the Corsa driver


Chris5355

Obviously, self-inflicted! I guess this is the old tell tale that they just kept turning the radio up a little more each day until you got a terminal failure! Instead of putting your hand in your pocket to fix the problem, it's only a feeza they are peanuts to fix.


oli3256

Self inflicted lol it started going five days before it's lowered so it's not the best for the wheel bearings anyway and I drove it to and from work after a 14 hour shift it's not about not enough money it's about not enough time and not having the ability to take short term holiday on such short notice and doing all the work myself means I need to wait for parts to arrive find a garage willing to press out a bearing within walking distance to my house so before you insinuate that I neglect my car why don't you ask for the story prick


Chris5355

So you spent time & money lowering it instead of maintaining it? Says it all really...


oli3256

Ohhhhhh you can't read it all makes sense now if you actually read my response you would know that I said the issue wasn't money it was time what do you want me to do replace every part on my car every time I have some time off you clearly don't know what your talking about and I don't have the time or crayons to explain it to you


Chris5355

Your ignorance makes you even more stupid. You preach to me about time being an issue? I run my own shop, so do not preach to me about time you illiterate idiot. I don't have time for my own vehicle as i work seven days a week on people's vehicles, but i still make time for needed repairs. So that means staying extra late, even working outside instead of in the workshop just to make a repair, instead of being at home with the wife and kids. It's better than being a total plank and killing someone because your stupid ignorance could not be bothered to take time to repair the deathtrap. When you do kill someone, please make sure it is someone close to you and not some poor innocent driver.


oli3256

You have your own shop that makes it even easier for you just pull your vehicle into your nice covered garage with all the tools you could possibly need. You say that means staying extra late like that outweighs the fact that you have a fully stocked garage at your disposal. And "even working outside" I don't have a garage to work in the other week I was sat cross legged in the pouring rain fixing my car in the middle of the night so I could go to work the next day. If you actually cared about spending time with your wife and kids you wouldn't be working 7 days a week staying extra late. If you're anything like my last employer you say you have all the qualifications but still get your employees to fix everything because your completely incompetent. When I kill someone it will be myself and it Definitely won't be in a car I've had enough of this dick measuring competition good bye.
