Busted a Shock

I don't know how or when it happened but I saw it today when washing up the 4x4. The shock itself isn't broke, but where it attaches to the frame. It looks like some type of washer or something came out. Anybody done this before, how much was it to be fixed? Thanks,

Lamm

im guessing if you just broke the shock..it will only cost as much as a new shock will cost to replace it..??

did you not notice a difference in the ride/handling? Seems like that would be like riding just on springs, the way you described it. I would think you could tell... that's scary... maybe I have one too...

No, I could not tell any difference. I think the shock is still useable. It is just the little part on the frame that the piston of the shock attaches to. I will findout tomorow for sure.
