Just removed the front suspension on the cally as i am returning it to standard to find the top strut mounts are completely wrecked, the middle fell out when i chucked them on the floor:roll: ... is there a place to get cheapy ones online, moneys tight this month and i need it back on the road..

Removed the shocks and found the cause... when you push the shocks in they were jamming solid when they were hardly pushed in at all??? unlike the new ones which are smooth.. never had that before.. caused it to smash through the strut mounting.. could have been dangerous if it broke all the way through... wasent far off either..
