Brakeblock bend strut brace
Hi,
The other day i noticed that the strut brace (the top-side bar between the two front wheels) in my 2001 A8 was slightly bend where the brakeblock pushes against it.
It's very slight and not a problem i guess.
It won't bend back (straight) anymore because the brace is made of aluminium.
Kind of illustrates the forces involved during hard braking :-)
I guess it kind of defeates the purpose of the block somewhat. Making my brakeblock slightly thicker now will only result the strutt bending even more.
