sik as bro, dumped!!

height adjustable suspension undid itself?

I second that??

If nothing broken maybe air bag system pump died / fuse blown but that would require a air bag system. :cool:

Spot on mate

Every now and again I would here this odd noise and just havn't had time to check it out, well lucky I was going really slow at the time as the shock slipped out of place as the bolt is now missing.
NRMA came out and helped me jack it up and put it back in place.
Drove home with no bolt in the bottom of the shock and lucky it didn't come off again.
All fixed with a new bolt and washers, very very lucky there was no damage.
The rear suspension and bushes are totally stock and I have never touched them so i don't know how this could of happend!

Now just snap that front one to match ;)

Looks cool in the picture there, but you may need to think about doing Gly's camber mod!!

Glad no-one was hurt mate (especially the car), and good to see it was an easy fix
