That is pricey. I always assumed knowing assumptions are bad at the same time. That a tire might skip off the road with bad shocks and when connecting again. The cupping was new wear from rotational difference. Or the return contact force was higher than if the shocks were working.


I know where there is a junk wagon still intact. I think I can locate the owner. It has the naturally aspired engine. I wll ask him if he put any new parts on it in the last year or so it was on the road. He did not drive it much.


This car will be crushed with no local demand for parts. So if anything usable is available it will be cheap. On the other hand he may have just pushed it till it died.
