You stuffed an 800 pound gorilla in the back of your car?

rear suspension kaput

800 pound gorilla

Boot is empty
You nearly got it suspension related...... Suspension is not broken though....

 

[SiliconAngel]

Something came undone and the car dropped on it's guts? Hopefully whilst stationary?

height adjustable suspension undid itself?

 

[naughtika]

[Guest]

bottom bolt holding the suspension to the hub has broken/come out

I second that??

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

 

[naughtika]

air bag? never thought the 8G vr4's came with the air suspension.. thought 6g came with it though..

 

[bradc]

Carsten's one sounds most plausible

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!

Missing bolt

You win a new bolt Where should I post it to?

 

[naughtika]

Emanuel, just a quick question.. did it happen on both sides or just one?

 

[Guest]

Just one side.

screw this tyre in guard stuff... RIM in guard FTW!!!

glad nothing went majorly wrong though

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

I think you'll find that bolt was stolen by an 800 pound gorilla...
