has anyone had a new lever arm shock fail from hitting a pothole or 2? i
hit one and afterwards felt like i had lost one, i.e. it felt like the left
rear side was being suspended only by the coil spring. took the wheel off
and noticed a drop of oil gathered on the bottom side of that shock, didn't
notice anything else except a cracked trailing arm rubber bumper stop.
suppose the broken bumper stop caused the shock to travel farther than it
should, blowing a seal or something?
