It's designed to pull a lot of weight but gradually, it's not designed to be slammed into with a sudden impact; they're two different forces and if you hit it hard enough the damage is likely to be visible underneath my car, not really something you can properly check on the side of the road immediately after an incident. But they all just look for panel damage.

"A while back" was 4 years ago.
That 4x4 could have gone anywhere in that time and the cause of the shock absorber "falling out" could have been anything.
Nice try fella. Do better next time.
