Re: suspension
As I said it's exactly the same problem I had with this car (my old track car) and we had to strip out the damper to repair & modify it. You can see where its torn through the rubber top mount.

Re: suspension
Same thing. You need to strip out the rear shock and replace rubber top mount.

Re: suspension
Can you tell me where you got those uprated ones? I think I may need them too.
You can PM me too.
