Hmm, that's not good. Who did the assembly of the spring onto the shock? If that come off all the way you would have been in trouble.

Here to revive a thread. This happened to me today. That nut that goes over the dampener dial... came off while I was driving and my car sunk a good inch or so down. I never touched that nut and it should have been torqued properly by the manufacturer prior to shipping it out to me. Im not happy in the least bit and now my coil is knocking....


Any advice???? Can I get this thing replaced by the manufacturer or are they going to claim no responsibility?

Are they off the car now? They should repair or replace it as necessary depending on the warranty period. They can extend that period at their discretion.
