Hey!

I hit a pot hole pretty bad I guess (front and rear of passenger side). Now, for one I know I need to get an alingment, because car is pulling to the right. But this is what I can't really figure out: When I go over bums or sewers, It feels like someone lifts the back end of the car and wiggles it. I took it to a shop and they said it was because the rear shock bushing moved of got worned out. I cant understand this because I see the shock and it moves more then the other shock in the rear, but can it make such a difference, so that I feel like I have no controll over the car for a second when I go over a bum????

Can it be anything else?

Has anyone ever changed a tokico shock under warranty, whats the process?

Thanks for all the help guys...
 
Have you taken a look at your tie-rod ends?? they may have snapped off in the jolt and the rear of your car is missing the suspension ends.

as far as tokico shock warranty you might want to contact them about coverage..because a pot hole would be considered a road hazzard and not driver error. although I could be mistaken. good luck man. :thumb:
