One of the joys of airride. On the way home from work last night, I blew out one of the rear shockwaves. At least replacement bellows are availible so I dont have to buy another set of those. After I get back from vacation atleast I know I got something to do to the car.

Finally got around to doing some of the repair work to the car. Took some quick pictures to help answer a few of the questions I got asked about the shockwaves.

circle shows the hole from rubbing the frame. The blown one is going back to Ridetech tomorrow and I hope to have it back before the Monumental show.

Didn't make it as planned to the Monument show. Bag finally showed up Friday night and they have made a design change in the bag and it doesnt fit the same way. Looks like I might have some more modifying to do before she goes back to driving duty. I also still have a couple leaks to iron out. Anyway shes back on the ground and off the stands.
