New shock on its way along with a sleeve and nut.
Please return the bad shock with the nut and sleeve in situ for the return to Sachs/Boge.
Sorry for the inconvieniance.

Streetcred !

If your referring to my pictures take note of my current car list it includes several American cars. The Porsche is not the only thing I work on

You need spanners for american cars ? I thought a hammer and a stone would do !

Just like to be of help if You want it. I am truly amazed by Your shock giving way and the spring perch slipping down like that.

Actually if you saw a spanner in those pics you'd be a magician . There was no spanner needed since the nut was already dropped. We do use the spanners on our plumbing here does that mean we have superior engineered plumbing?

Also on a side note it's American with a capital "A"

Yahoo car's back on the road. This shock was a pain in the ***. Last time I remember it being easier. Can't wait to clean her up and check the ride height(Which I just love. Not!)
