Civic Suspension problem!!!
I just recently got new suspension installed on my 99 Civic. When I was driving today I heard a clanking sound come from the rear of the car. When I looked in the trunk I saw the bolt, the bushing, the washer, and the bolt collar off of the right strut and when I looked at the left strut I saw the the nut was about to come off. Why do you think that happend? Were the nuts not tight enough? Do you think anything got damaged? Could the strut have blown? I probably only drove about a mile or 2 to get home. Will it be easy to get it back together? Will I have to take the strut completly off of the car? I need to know something ASAP.

did you get this installed at a shop?
if so if anything is damaged they should replace it for free.
