First voyage after sitting for 5 years. Drove on the highway and everything. Got home and saw this :(

Blown strut (obviously), oil all in the well, and the adjustment rod shot out....

It's a Tokico Illumina with Tenzo coilover sleeves and 425lb/inch springs. This ever happen to anybody else? The perches have been cut off, so obviously can't try to get it covered under warranty.

I pulled it out today. Oddly enough, it still had some compression and rebound resistance despite all that shock oil inside the strut mount plate.....
