And if it is my rear shock's how much would it cost to change em my self and or leshwab or something like that.....How do i know when my SHOCKS Go Bad ?
You can feel if the ride compliance is not correct. How do i know when my SHOCKS Go Bad ?
Press the bumps down with your toes and then leave them. If this oscilates more than once they are gone.



Drive at 40 and then hit the breaks , if they oscialtes more than once, means you bounce back backwords after your car stops they are gone.



They cost 200, labor extra , So a dealer ship can cost you $600, and you can get them for $20 from a junk yards if you or one of your friend can replace them.

if you bounce the car 3 times and see how many times it takes to stop, if it stops within 3 then they are good

you can also look at them and see if they look like they have been leaking if they have regular shocks and not gas
