I did fix the shock. i drilled a hole in the control lick and inserted a washer and cotter/split pin. Thank you all for the assistance. You are probably better off taking them out. Although I have a TC, I had a similar problem. My right rear shock arm had slipped/worn its way almost off of the shaft of the shock body. The splines were shot. (This could end up being your situation too) Only the power of the geometry of the linkage was holding things together, and the shock absorbing capability was non-existant. As a consequence, I broke spring leaves. Taking the shock off is not that hard. Remove the nut that holds the shock linkage from the bottom spring retaining plate. If this bolt is “frozen” to its nut, it is a bear to remove. If this is the case, drop the spring retainer bottomplate and work on it out of the car. You will want to put new bushings in the linkage. The bolt and bushing at the end of the linkage that connects to the spring bottom plate needs to be pressed in with a lo
