Default Urgent: in dear need of rear strut

I had awful story. Rear left shock was loose and I took it of to look at it. The upper strut mount was cricked so I left the car sitting on the cinder block for two days while ordered the new mount. Somebody broke rear window and runsack the car. My all tools are gone and most important: the morons stole the rear shock. Now I have immobile car in wrong part of the town with broken window.

So I urgently need rear diver side strut (sprints/shock/mounts/three top nuts and big bolt from the bottom). If you can sell one, please contact me right away. I will pay for overnight shipping as well.

my email: vborisov@gmail.com
phone: 646-522-5935

Or should I call for a flatbad track.
As a second priority, where I can get replacement window?

Default Why did you take your suspension apart away from home?

Doesn't sound like a problem that couldn't wait until you got home...

I doubt you'll get everything in-hand for a couple days, so I'd say get the flatbed to bring the car home ASAP.

Default certainly you could drive it without one shock unless you've got a lot of bumps on your way

flatbed would certainly be more safe. do you have AAA?

Default You mean I can lower the car without spring?

would it push wheel though the wheel arch? would it pull the break hose out? All I need is to move it around the corner.

The car is pretty old and I wanted to keep it for a year or so.

No...I'm evidently confused. I was picturing a coil spring and shock setup...which is not right.
