Last weekend I went to a beach ~150km from where I live, 20km of which are dirt road. When I was on my way on the dirt road, the left front shock absorber support pin broke. I could still drive, but very slowly.

On my way back I changed the pin and bushing, an also did the following:

- Checked front suspension/steering components for play. The front wheel bearings had a little play, had to be tightened. The idler arm was a bit loose, so it was re-tightened too.
- One of the rear brakes cylinder was leaking, changed the seals and adjusted the brake shoes. Braking has significantly improved.
- After this I took her for a wheel alignment.
