[QUOTE="hmwave, post: 1973103, member: 10968"] Thanks Doug. I don't know if I just have a bad set of shocks or not. I'm assuming one shock failed a few days ago, and the additional load on the other caused it to fail. I was a little concerned when I first saw these shocks as the welds looked tiny! As you know, I fitted the bushings out of the car using a nut/bolt and a few washers to press them home. They were a tight fit! Any chance me pushing them home in that way malformed the shells and stressed the welds to near breaking point? Would it be safe to weld the shells back on to the shock body or will that damage the shocks seals or internal content in any way? [/QUOTE]
