Drove around without the strut tower secured

[IM-32-FK]

After i serviced my car i forgot to put the strut brace back on and the nuts for the coilovers in the engine bay, and i only realised after driving it for like half an hour lol. Thankfully nothing feels like it f**ked up, but is there anything i should look out for? Only went over a couple of speed bumps.

 

thanks

The nuts on the top of the shock only stop the shock falling out when the suspension is at full droop (eg off the ground or on very uneven ground). If your shock didn't fall out there is nothing to worry about.

In my experience with them they're also normally captive meaning the spring needs to be compressed while the wheel is at full droop, or the bottom shock nut has to be undone and the bottom of the shock comes out first.
