I'm back in Toronto now with my new Maxx and showing off a little to my friends, when at a rather high speed I drove into a chain link fence gate. The hood got wedged under the bottom of the fence, and the force sanpped my shock tower.
I was going to take out the shock tower and try using CA glue and a vice to reset the tower. Before I had the chance to take off the tower I noticed that if I used my thumbs on the skid plate and used the rest of my hands to pull down on the A arms, I could use the shocks to pull the tower back into place and hold enough pressure for the glue to set.
The result: The CA glue made a good bond. Would it stand up? I went for session 3 today. It was cold, I drove fast, I crashed in snow banks. The shocktower lives!
