ripped rear shock off axle.

[quasibonko]

so i went up sarn helen on my first day out and ripped one of my rear shocks off my axle in the river after the steps (think i floored it a bit too much, oops.)

will it be ok if i still drive to work (12 mile round trip) for a couple days on just the spring?

this might sound stupid but i'm a bit new to this game.

cheers,

paul.

what landy is it? Its not an ideal situation to be in and i would get it fixed sooner rather than later. I guess its ok to drive on but you have to think if someone pulls out infront of you how the trucks going to handle in an emergency!

How was the lanning ? I think i celebrated the grand slam a little too much and haven't moved off my sofa all day :D

i'm def gonna get it fixed asap, need it for the weekend.

really enjoyed today, after the shock incident, we came home, jumped in my mates 90 went back and did it again this time we went up to brecon and did the gap too, great fun.

oh, almost forgot, its a k reg disco.

cheers,

paul.

Did mine once, just keep the speed down and carefull on corners

where did it break, i actually broke the shock, the long shinely thing comeing out of the shock itself pistion thing, just above the mounting.

i managed to rip the shock mount off the axle, a nice introduction to 4x4 owning i think.

just spent the last two hours trying to sort a shock mount, the best so far, a full kit of shock mounts off bearmach, 60 quid plus vat. has anyone else had this problem, what do you do, looks like i'm gonna have to find someone to fabricate me one.

fun and games.
