If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Mine were as rusty as old iron: I can only do 3000 miles a year, and about 1500 of them are on wet salty gritty roads.
When I stripped them down the seals looked fine, but the bottom bearing on both sides was solid with rust from the water that must have got through the seals.
I'm hoping the smoothrite will set hard enough to not scrape off first time I go lock to lock :whistle:
