Just a simple response to the question of rust (I'm not commenting on the spring conditions), I purchased a gallon of 'Rust Converter' (simple search on the Internet). I used it on a car I'm restoring and it did a wonderful job on the rust I had. Just paint/spray/wipe it on and let it set. Then rinse off after it has done it's job.

The day I got my 303 home from the dealer started spraying the underneath with Fluid-Film. 2 plus years later still like new. I look underneath once a year and re-spray if needed in areas. I bought a 12 case of spray cans on Amazon (under $100) and used 6 cans to give it a heavy coating the first time. The rest of the cans will last me forever.

This stuff is the bomb. Touch up once a year anything with a little rust.

Hehehe, sorry just saw the mistake I saw 303 and immediately thought the spray. I just look up fluid film, looks great haven’t heard of it before. Thanks for the info.

Recently had this happened to our 2017 328 momentum. Not a happy camper

Strech, most likely spring issue, but are your tires balanced? Shaking going down the road could have contributed. I would not be happy either!

Applying Fluid Film to underside of rig this morning, found broken spring, think that will accelerate my new spring purchase.
Any particular brand people like?




Thanks,
John
