I think I busted a shock absorber......
I was driving in Long Beach alittle whiles back and went over the mother of all pot holes, and then heard a lound BANG! Since that happend my front driver's side tire rubs when I go over dips too fast, doesn't happen on the other side though. I don't know maybe its time to replace the control arms???
Anyone know where I could buy or repair a single H&R Shock? Looked at there web site and didnt see any thing.

Re: get the car up on a jack or jack stands, pull the wheel check and see if the control arms are in

if the shock blew there will be oil down the cyl of the shock...
and possibly on the wheel well as well.
Did you buy the suspension setup? or was it from a previous owner? If you bought it, contact H&R and see if they warranty their cup kits... I know koni and bilstein have lifetime warranties for original purchasers of the shocks.
