Omg, I was driving home from my friends house and i hear this clanking sort of noise.

It took me till the next day before I was about to go home that i noticed the driver side shock was hanging down at the back!!!!

Closer inspection it appears it just slipped off the bottom mount point, I don't really know what to look for but it appears nothing actually broke....

I will be honest that i did not really notice the change in drive, except for some minor shuddering.

The most i noticed was the noise of the shock hitting the mount when i went over a bump!!

I drove maybe 70 kilometres like this!!

The car is getting fixed today as the shop put the shocks on, they are bilstein, I do not know what type.

Do you expect I would have done any other damage driving like this???

Also, how would a shock come off the lower mount like that???
