Any help is appreciated. My issue is that the front right suspension will compress, but not bounce back. I can pull the front of the car up amd the suspension will move back up. I suspected a broken spring, but can't find a break anywhere. I did hit a pothole today on a highway which may have bent the strut, would that cause this issue? Is it safe to drive with a bent strut, just until I get home?
The strut mount is not bent and upper and lower suspension arms look fine. One other issue to note is that it was recently aligned and I noticed the two bolts holding the upper ball joint are about 5 threads tighter than the other side. Does the upper ballpoint have a torque spec? Can an overnighted upper ball joint cause this problem?
I'm currently near Jackson Wyoming. I can imagine there are lots of parts for Panteras in these parts.
