"Dukes of Hazard"-style jump over a gorge, river, or Sheriff Coltrane's cruiser - probably going to blow your struts, springs, tranny, engine, twist up your frame, shatter the tc roof, and compress your spine.

struts blow the easiest , then upper mounting plates , or mounting bolts then springs.

I've been on hotchkis with stock springs for almost 2 years and no problems. How do you know if one has blown?

You will blow out your bed springs before your struts. Oh crap, that reminds me, I have to go bed shopping today.... :P

I haven't had any problems with my struts, but I did blow out my O-ring today. Must've been the Thai food.....

wow, so i take it your date went well huh?

you know, for all the times people have said strut tower braces do nothing, maybe this is what they were built for, keep the mounting plates from braking before the strut does! lol.
