I've got about 200,000 more miles than you. Have you hit anything lately?
Just before the shock started making noise I did something pretty stupid. I needed to jack up the car to replace the underpanels. I thought I would save some time and effort by driving the rear onto ramps and jacking the front. But the jack won't fit under the front with the rear raised. So I spaced some 1" boards so that the front tires would end up on the boards when the rears were on the ramps. BAD IDEA.
First attempt didn't work. I shot the ramps across the street. Reset everything and did it again. When this is happening the car is gently rolling down the ramps, no big deal.
Tried it again. This time instead of shooting the ramps backward, I shot them forward. Under the car. Rear of the car slammed to the ground. Shock blew.
