I meant to answer this before....it's about 40. It's spring, all the snow is melting, potholes are growing, and roads are dirty as hell from 6 months of sanding. It is the ugliest time of year. Shades of brown and gray, pretty much everywhere.

What type of shock just breaks like that?
I would be shocked to, are you not the guy that head loose shock a couple of months back?

It's a Bilstein shock, so pretty much everyone was surprised.
And yeah, when I first had them installed, the installers either didn't put a nut on or it worked off and the bolt almost completely came out on the bottom. That was on the other side. They put a locking nut on it and it's been fine since. I check now, too. But, that was an installation issue. This appears to be a compressor issue.
I'm just not having good luck with the rear shocks.
Got the UPS tracking info already, and replacement parts are on the way.
dang man, move down here. your spring is my winter... it is 70-75 with the occasional cold snap down to 50 overnight.

Sucks that the shock shit the bed, but its comforting to know there are still companies out there that stand behind there product

Honestly, I wouldn't mind a move somewhere warmer. And with shorter winters. I love summer here, though.
But, my family is a bunch of cold-blooded people. If it goes above 80 we're done for the day. I'm the odd-duck, there. I like it 75-85 degrees. I miss San Diego summers...at least the weather. I hate California, but I miss the weather....lol.
This may be a long-shot, but we've got some smart guys on here.
Since my parts were defective, shouldn't I get reimbursed the roughly $200 of shop time for installation of the replacement parts? It wasn't my fault things went haywire to begin with....

sadly... no.
If the SHOP provided the parts, and the shop installed it and found it to be defective they would R&R it free.
Soetimes the shop would cover R&R on the defective part within a limited timeframe... ~30 days is normal.
If you provided it, they are under no obligation to discount labor, as it is not their fault either.
Do it yourself... changing a shock was one of the first things I learned to do.
