My Bilstein BROKE!!!

[Kneale Brownson]

I'm not clear on what broke.  This occurred when I was having all work done 
on my cars performed by others.   I went around a corner, heard a loud bang 
and pulled immediately into a parking lot, and the rear of the car was 
close to rubbing on the fender on one side.  I could see the body of the 
shock off on one side.  I'm not certain, but I think the circular part the 
bolt goes through had broken off the rest of the shock.  The wrecker driver 
had a heck of a time getting the car onto the flatbed.  The mechanic told 
me the bottom of the shock had broken off.
