I happened to park my car (Mustang GT) with the steering on full lock, and was shocked at the state of my tyre eek

I knew the tread was getting low, but never really checked the inner edge! New tyre going on tomorrow!
(shame as im PX'ing it later in the week, but don't wan't to risk a long drive in this condition!)




Anyway, also happened to notice the shock boot is all twisted!



Is this just a case of the base of the boot has come loose, looks to me that the base should be slipped over the round spigot thing?

When the wheel is removed tomorrow, and the weight is off the spring. Should this just slip back on? or does something look fked?

TBH i put the wear down to nailing the roundabout on the industrial estate at work most mornings...?

The suspension is all standard.

Anyway i managed to straighten out the shock boot while the guy was fitting a lovely “Triangle” hehe
