Friend's coilover strut broke-how bad is it?

duct tape it

 

The internet is deadly. Ice bucket challenge, tide pods, facebook, Russians. Zero out of 10. Do not recommend.

 

But for real. That could cause loss of control, accidents, and death. It is a serious liability and danger to other drivers and pedestrians. It is hard to believe that two human brains could not deduce this.

Also the bushings are shot, he should remove the swaybar completely, not just disconnect it. And I bet those TC uniballs have not had a drop of Tri Flow in the last 5000 miles.

 

Darwin keeps trying...but he's thwarted at every turn.

 

If it’s broken, it’s broken. Sorry but that’s not too hard to understand and anyone with some common sense can tell you that.

I bet the sway bar disconnect had something to do with over flexing the coilovers . It did perform better with an extra inch of travel. She said SIZE matters, in this case, it did. An extra inch was the difference between breaking and not.

 

Not enough before it snap I guess

Common fucking sense?

 

Seems like it. The world shifted from listening or watching others to what we’re doing nowadays. Its not even FRIDAY yet

 

garden hose water

 

anything and everything. I recall hanging out at the mall or 7/11 when they had extremely poor quality arcade to kill time

 

Paint chips

 

And greasy pizza

 

Aftermarket bumpstops would have been prudent. None are visible in the pics, so who know. Swaybay is just baggage with a lift. Especially if you are just hucking it over stupid shit that broke it.

Probably got it confused with quidditch or something, IDK.

 

Asking advice is a good way to not hold oneself accountable when bad shit happens. Should I cheat on my wife? Should I bet on the xxxx to win the national super cup series game? Don’t try to blame others when bad shit happens because you were too lazy to educate yourself, or as others said, use common sense.

Should I drive a 4500lb truck when one of the major components responsible for bearing weight is completely severed from its mount is absolutely nor something you try to hold others accountable for answering

 

Hey that looks familiar

 

Ah, and now I can see that the OP's truck had NO bumpstops at all let alone chonkier aftermarket bumps.

Metal on metal is not a kind mistress.

Does the driver have any teeth left?

Not even expensive resi shocks can stop bottoming out. Because physics and stuff.

Whoever put that lift on had no idea what they were doing. It's too late to save someone who has more money than sense.

You know how that friend crap is it’s probably the OP’s truck.
