What kind of damage can this cause. I found a shipping block on the drivers side only? it has been there for 3k miles. do I need to get the car checked out? I was surprised that somebody had to have some repairs done because of this

 

what are shipping blocks? can you show a pic?

 

Are you talking about those rubber block that sits in the coil springs from factory? As far as I know they sit there to prevent the car from lowering it self during transport and waiting for deliver to the customer. If that's what you are talking about I have a hard time imagine that they could cause any damage at all?

 

Lord only knows i had mine in my car for 3500 miles

They are very large 6 inch blocks installed between the coilsprings to prevent the car from bouncing up and down while being transported on the truck... they are suppose to be removed durring the "mechanic's inspection" However I doubt anyone at mitsu does 100% of their job or anywhere near that

 

You should be fine, it just would have made for a really rough ride. There's been a lot of problems with dealerships leaving them in. I'm sure you're ok.
