Yes, still safe but don't try to adjust it anymore. See dealer when you get home for warranty repairs... several have done it.

BTW, the adjusting cams need lubrication before trying to turn them.

I would leave it be and ride with extra caution. You should be fine even if the other side breaks - just might get a bit of a shock if it does!

When adjusting those it's best to lube it up AND jack it up to take pressure off the shock.

It will be covered under warranty.

Maybe those aftermarket shocks are looking better already!

The Penske are cheaper, but those Elka units look even better!
