Discussion on the Radio about engineering produced this great quote!

In theory, theory and practice are the same
In practice, theory and practice are not the same

I think you can apply that to your suspension woes ;)

Moleman

That is very true as I do a lot of prototype models at work & I'm regularly being told by the designer's in theory it should work. ;)

In theory nothing ever works as it is supposed only close to what it may have been designed to, at that point we redesignate it to do that job instead therefore meaning it has done 'A' job we may have possibly wanted to carry out at some time in the future.

Quoted by a young first year mechanical engineering student I spoke to about this subject today

It is often said that things were made to last years ago.

The truth is only the good ones survived.
