Last week I posted about my steering and handling not staying consistent. Believe I tracked it down to a broken shock mount on the lower front left. Possibly maybe someone jacking up on that stud one time? Has there ever been any record of Bilstein shocks sticking or hanging up and braking off the stud. I pushed on the shock and it goes in and out. I guess maybe when it could find it's way to the top of the a-arm it would work till it fell off.
Any thoughts out there, On bilstein shocks in general and if the lower shock mount is a known weak point.
Thanks in advance
