All, Please check out the following link for a picture of what happens when you subject a shock to three point bending. This is applicable to lifts that have spindle/upper ball joint contact with the front spring assembly. http://corner-carvers.com/forums/showth ... post560469 Rob |

Could be that he has some axle-wrap issues that contributed to the situation. |

crazy stuff, in my old 96' Mazda MX-6 i had a front coilover failure on the way to school. All I heard was a loud POP and then it was crippled. continued to drive down the hill and i could hear it popping and rattling so i pulled into a parking lot and turned the car off. Went around to the front passenger side and sure enough it's sitting 2 inches lower than the rest of the car... and hour later and a missed exam the tow truck hauled it off. The mechanic working on my vehicle said he had never seen this happen in the 12 years he'd been working on cars. |

Gila, The main point was not what caused the failure, but pontential hazzard in placing a shock in three point bending. |
