happened to my son's front drivers shock when he went over some railroad tracks and an ensuing pot hole hard early one morning..

shock was fine.... it was the inside mount that crack and broke..... the shock did hit the hood, putting a very small dent in it..

we replaced both upper shock mounts.... the car still needs to be aligned, but it is fine....the incident scared the pants off me (i was afraid of big bucks)

hope it scared the crap out of him too..... about railroad tracks, anyway
