Jesus, that sounds traumatising.
Has the rear strut completely failed? |

Any pictures.
Sounds like either your topmount failed, turret tower failed or installation error. |

I've done this. The top mount has failed, with the chrome part of the shock absorber coming up into the boot. In my case, it was becasue the large dome-shaped washer that fits over the threaded top of the shock has too small a hole for the KWs. Without it, a decent hole in the road will send the shock through the mount.
There will be no damage to the car - just take the boot carpet up round the shock mounts and replace the originals with the Rogue Engineering version. I've been trouble-free since. Makes a crappy noise, doesn't it? |
