6 of 8 hours on the road was completed on this blown shock:

highway 69 in OK is bumpy as hell and I guess a couple hours of rhythm kill't it.

You're should have got the red tokicos; the white ones are for riding lawnmowers.

I guess I'm putting Bilsteins back in with stock springs.

I don't even see how you can snap the shaft like that... it's traveling up and down.

Something had to have been left loose.

I've been on the same shocks for 2+ years now.....

i could see this happening if the top bolt wasn't secured, and then the shaft popped under the mount and got stuck at a weird angle and eventually snapped

If you were the original purchaser, and you have your invoice where you bought them, you can return them to Tokico for some $$$.

I'm going with the top being loose. On that note, I hated the Tokicos.

Dogpiling, but yeah, how would any lateral force be applied to the shaft unless one end or the other was shifting under load? How massive of a metallurgical defect would there have to be for it to shear in two under vertical force?

Everything is still tight, not sure what happened. Please pm me if you have stock springs to sell me since that rear is bent severely. Thanks.

^I don't have new springs for you. But...

I thank my lucky little stars that your manly physique was not harmed in any way when you had your trouble.

I'm assuming this is his daily driver. Either way - I loved my Illuminas and never had problem with them. Used them on multiple different cars over the years without a single problem. I bet that you fucked something up as usual.

You are right. I didn't notice the color of the wheel well. I fail!
