the bolt for my rear shock fell off last july,i have been driving it since then, never bothered me. was jst a bit twitchy round bends :lol: but was fun :|
the bolt actually fell off? as in you didn't have a bolt to hold the shock on?
well there is a bolt at the top of the shock and a bolt or sumfin at the bottom. well it was the top one that came off. after 4 months i put a new one on but it fell off again straight away. put it this way, if somebody ever nicked my car they wud crash on the first bend, it was very twitchy :lol: :o
