Hi guys !
I am pretty new to these forums and this is my first post so I am sorry if I am posting in the wrong section.
So i got a good 3000km to drive next thursday but I just last minute noticed that my rear left strut mount is fissured / cracked right down the middle, meaning there is a great play in the support and rubber piece (I can slide the rubber piece down and out the support with my hand) but the strut doesnt feel loose, like I cant move or wiggle it with my hand and still seems very supported. I noticed my car is also lower on the left side too now. I have a mazda 3 2006 2.0L.
So my big question is, Will I make the trip ?! is it dangerous if the mount gave in anymore on the freeway? is it possible i end up damaging the vehicle tons more $ ? what is the best and worst case scenario ?
Thanks alot guys !!!
