Happy Motoring, Mark
One shock on my car was pushed in some time ago and recent "accident" may have pushed it a little further. While I had it out, I almost broke it trying to uncompress it.

I have bumper back on now, so was thinking of evening things out by backing the other side into my garage wall .....

Any better ideas
