Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2004 C2. Top of dampers appear to show rust. Anyone know if this is a concern. Top mounts and Bump stops will be replaced next week. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

Yikes! That looks like trouble all over. Replace the struts as well.

POST 3Original post

Is it supposed to taper at the top, or was there metal there at some point?

POST 4Original post

that does not look good. Most certainly is a concern.

POST 5Original post

Good lord! Is this thing parked in the Dead Sea?

POST 6Original post

Is that from an e30? I expect that kind of thing on one of those Yeah, I wouldn't be comfortable driving that. I'd also be concerned about what else may be in bad shape. Always possible that the strut was just defective, but I'd go over every inch of the suspension and surrounding areas on all 4 points just to be sure.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
