I broke something and i dont know what it is....

my freidn and i where putting some eibach springs on and the coil decompresed on my front passenger side and the thing bent. Need a new one but dont know what it is called, i thought damper or u joint or something but cant find it? please help

crap i dont know how to post a picture.... someone tell me please[IMG][/IMG]

 

i ment this one

 

i don't really see anything wrong with it by looking at the picture except that where the shock sits into the fork is bent out a little. if the threads aren't damaged you can bend it back and the bolt will hold it tight...
if it is truly broken its just the front lower fork, depending on what side of the car is.. Here it is for MY CAR...

thats a fork and it looks fine to me. where is it broken or bent?

 

you can put it in a vice to bend it back if you can't manhandle it yourself..

i can't believe anyone even knows what this is a picture of, let alone being able to tell that its in perfect condition. jp I can hardly see it.

And it's a damper fork, btw. And just bend it back if it's not too badly bent. Otherwise, run to the junkyard and pick one up for a ducat or two. or probably less.

You will be able to bend it back with no problems/after effects. I had a friend use an EG shock on his EF and had to open it up like that so it would fit and drove it like that for a while, bent it back just like it was new.

Oh. I got pwn3d.

Anyway, yeah the bend doesn't look that bad. Just bend it back maybe? Or just get a new one if you're worried about compromising its structural integrity.

This actually looks kind of nasty.
