I hit one of our 10,000 potholes 0n the freeway during my commute home tonite (8pm) I'm usually good about trying to avoid them, but... (insert excuse here) I had expensive lightweight wheels on my Miata and was used to playing "Pot Hole Dodge'em", but apparently I'm off my game now.
Anyway the moment I hit the hole, there was a loud twanging noise, and then a rythmic rattling. I broke the sway bar off the front LCA of my Miata once (and bent a wheel at the same time) so I knew I busted something right away. I got off the freeway, got underneath and shone a light up there. What is the name of the thingy that attatches the shock to the body of the car? Is that part of the shocks, or the car itself? I had a set of Koni FSD's installed in '12, so these aren't particularly old now, but probably have 60K on them by now. So I'm kinda hoping I don't have to replace both rears now, instead of just the broken mounting part... (Cheap I know, but $'s always tight, right?)
Of course I live in the middle of nowhere so there isn't anywhere to get this worked on until Monday (assuming I can get the part(s) in less than a week here) I cheated and had these installed for me, otherwise I might know how to fix this myself...
Has anyone else broke this part before?
Thanks, guys
