Today I was rear ended by a car. Both of us were waiting to merge it to main road and that person was behind me . He thought of overtaking me and merge in the middle lane rather than the rightmost lane. Impact was little as he started from stand still and may be had 4-5 feet to accelerate.his passanger side bumper hit my car's driver side rear bumper . No visible damage . A small piece of foam came out of his car . I checked the bumper shock, It had depressed and bounced back to normal position, evident from scractes on the undercoating on the shock shaft. I took his number and left. Is it something to be repaired .Does that shock still has life or it is spent

Regards
Gopesh

Replace it!! It did what is was designed for. Even though it came back out to it's original position it needs to be replaced. I-CAR and the manufacturer suggest this.
