Hi, Recently reinstalled the rear subframe and trailing arms and shockers etc and left car on rear wheels with a spit attached to the front. Moved it several times around shed and bounced on the shockers a few times. now i find the knuckle joints have popped out. what is supposed to stop this happening ie just the shocker. I used the old trumpet with new cones and knuckles and rebuilt trailing arms. Any suggestions or ideas. All help appreciated
Regards
Graeme

The shock stops the trailing arm from dropping too far down and pulling out of the joint / rubber cone / trumpet etc

Just had a better look and it seems the rubber dust seals have pulled off the cup rather than the ball pulled out
