<div dir="ltr">I raced almost two full weekends with a broken front shock. The shaft snapped off at the top of the shock tower so the gas pressure kept the shaft fully extended inside the dust cover. I was had handling issues the entire time, none of the usual trackside tweaks, like tire pressure, shock compression (Spax, adjusted while on the car with a screw on the bottom), check for loose bolts or alignment seemed to help. I found it when I jacked up the car to put on rain tires and the shock was leaning inside the spring.<div><br></div><div>These cars keep finding new ways to break.</div><div><br></div><div>mike h</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Jul 20, 2019 at 1:05 PM Chris Marx via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="DE"><div class="gmail-m_753736906349905775WordSection1"><div><blockquote style="border-top:none;border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:1pt solid rgb(204,204,204);padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 6pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0cm"><p class="MsoNormal">Hi Guys,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’ve just found out that I had raced the last two events with dead dampers on the front end.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Well, I’ve noticed the jumping on the front but thought, maybe this is TR8 specific.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Now I know better after I had hands on new shocks.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Next race is at Dijon…..there I see what is the difference to new shocks.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Cheers<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Chris<u></u><u></u></span></p></blockquote></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
