A little peice of rubber has been rubbing against my a arm for a long time it looks like, car has over 200k miles on it. Hope it's safe, cause Im not changing it haha.

whoa is that a cut in it? how deep does that go???

 

not deep, maybe like 3mm I don't know. Its just a soft peice of rubber that did this though haha.

 

It looks to be on a cross section and not swiss cheese section. It will be fine then it don't look like you AutoX the car or anything. If it did go the arm would bend then crack.

 

yeah i think its prolly fine, but if the wheel falls off you know why

 

It's fine. Unless you use your car for track pulling 1.3g cornering all day long. They design critical parts like the suepsnion with a margin for $hit like that.

 

unless its a bmw, and then the subframe rips out of the floor

 

Well I always thought mazda had BMW as an inspiration when it came to designing cars. I mean the orange gauges are practically the same haha.

 

yeah huh. the rest of the car is built a lot more like my mercedes, or to put it another way i was suprised to find out that my 71 mercedes is built a lot like my 71 r100 was. r100 has a rotary, the mercedes has a solid rear end with a HINGE in the center, we can argue over who had the better drugs...

 

it'll buff out..
