I had a shock snap in two today. The worst part about it is my son was driving the vehicle since I passed it down to him. Good thing is he was on a city street only going 15 or so. I don't want to think about if he was going 70 down a highway. I'm on sharing is so y'all might want to take a look at everyone's suspension now and then, no matter the brand.

Dang, didn't know they had a lifetime warranty.

I had two that failed on my Tundra from hitting large holes and I replaced the pair both times. Nothing catastrophic, just noticed it sitting lower on one corner a day later and saw that the strut was bent towards the bottom.

southern, sounds hard to believe this would happen going 15 mph....boys will be boys.

Edit: found a pic of the damage

way back when during college i was home and borrowing my mom's car. i was out with friends and i ran over a curb on the off ramp exiting the freeway. i wasn't doing anything real stupid, just not paying attention i think and probably going too fast.

it flattened the tire, so i put the spare on and just told her i had a flat.

some time later, i remember her telling me when she went for new tires she said discount had said her rim was bent. but she never put two and two together, and i never confessed anything

No doubt there might be some things that go on, but the truck doesn't move like it used to. Shocks are about 5-6 years old with 30k on them. The street he was on is flat, not saying he might have jumped some tracks to get there.

You're not the guy that said you have to change shocks every 50k miles are you?
