[DML] Re: Broken front shock...



I had a front shock come lose at the top last year, thetop washer had split and I lost the bushing.  I had replaced the shocks a couple of years before that.
 
If the shock is  in good condition, get a new set of bushings and nuts and refasten it.  I found some spare parts at a local tire/shock store that would fit until I was able to get the correct parts from a DeLorean Parts house.  I have had no problems since.

Subject: [DML] Broken front shock...

I heard a noisey "clunking" coming from the front of my D when I hit big bumps. Well, it seems that the shock decidedthat it didn't want to be attatched to the top part of the suspension anymore, where it's supposed to be. I noiced that the other side had some sort of bushing with a curved washer holding it in place. My question is, how bigof a problem do I have here? Is that washer thing attatched to the suspension?Or is it just held in place by the shock? Do I need to replace my shock, or can I just replace the curved washer and a new rubber bushing? How bad actuallyis this? Help please?
