[DML] SNAP!

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I went out tonight to buy some #408 vinyl dye. On my way home, as I 
was decelerating to pull into a grocery store, I snapped a TAB.

At 35/40 MPH.

The car swayed so violently that I have strained a muscle in my back. 
The good news is, I didn't hit anyone or anything. Beyond the bolt, I 
don't see any damage. 

The car is resting in the parking lot. What a shame. I had replaced 
one, but the one that snapped appeared to be rusted in place. I 
intended to replace it this very week in Florida.

Here are my questions:

1. I presume I lost all my shims. How the hell do I ever figure out 
how many there were and where they go?
2. It's colder than **** here. I can't do it on the ground. This 
should be simple for a garage to replace right?

Any advice is appreciated.
