Hi guys, recently i noticed that the left side of the car got a lil lower, well i opened up the hood and i guess the shock is goin through the tower.

Has this happen to any of you guys?
Do i need to buy the whole thing or can i just buy that top part. Part name??
would it go through any more?

I have Raceland coil overs btw.

thanks in advance.

Right side, which is fine.

Just look up the part numbers on realoem.com and order BOTH of them. Rubber wears out.

That's funny. Don't buy üro strut mounts, trust me. Also, your right side is not fine, the rubber mount it split.

while you're at it raise the suspension some. You're way too slammed and that's why you're going to get this problem repeatedly not to mention your handling sucks...

And you know this because I'm assuming you've driven his car? Oh wait ... no you didn't ...

I'm sure it handles just fine, and when your daily drive consists of being stuck in traffic for half an hour in the morning and afternoon, then it hardly matters anyway.

lol
it actually handled good, but now since this happened, it pulls to the right, and the tires actually dont rub that much and i think its like a 1/2 to 3/4 inches lower now, so im gonna go lower than before after i fix this.. :)
