Unhappy **** my springs its my shocks that have gone

I recently changed my wheels because of pot hole damage to the wheels and then noticed my arches were hitting the rear wheels, something they previously didn't do

I assumed that it was my springs as they had been cut 6 years ago but on examination it is my rear shocks that have gone

I am told this has more than likely to have happened due to the 6" deep pot hole that i am claiming against.

I don't understand much about cars apart from the mirrors ...will the Highways people accept that my shocks have burst (or whatever they do) due to their great big holes in the road?


I have found a pair of rears for £111, is this price about right?

I was unaware at the time that this was what they did, now i realise that this was not a good thing to do

Anyway my car has only done 50k so i am pretty foofed off


They say bad luck comes in 3's.
My power steering belt went, my wheels were bent, and my shocks are spent
