Pretty sure this isn't right

From a combination of curb hopping (especially at VIR) causing torn TRB bushing, resulting in a bent shock. This is from the passenger's side which takes the biggest beating. Overly soft, and not enough travel on the Pedders may have contributed. New ones on the way, and the sphericals should help prevent this.

I took them off to adjust them, and could hardly push this side down. I noticed the car getting a little weird the last few weeks, thought the shocks were going a little soft. It was the opposite.

Yes, but this would probably qualify as abuse I'm not sure if I can even revalve these. Normally I would just get a second set and send these off to revalve. I'll have to talk to Proparts this winter about it. For now, I have another set of Konis on the way to me.
