rear shockers

[Finnon]

quick question guys

when your out driving on say a moderately bumpy/ uneven road can you hear the rear shocks working? kinda a swoosh swoosh noise. just i can hear mine and i was wondering if it was normal. I dont know how old the shocks are and they pass the bounce test fine

cheers all

a swoosh sound.....im lost, but i dont think its suppose to make that sound, as i dont hear that kinda noise in my suspension.

Could be gas sloshing around?

 

[Murd]

Shocks are worn if you hear that noise.

probably shot, mine are bad i hear them from the front and rears. ^^ stock suspension ftw! 17 year old suspension rocks. anyways time to get new coilovers!

if your going to do suspension work u might as well replace struts as well.

Ebach springs and koni yellow shock is where im going and throw out my TEMS.
If u wanna keep your tems, tokico has tems, but they are known to blow, but have a lifetime warrenty IIRC.
look into KYB struts as well as they are cheap and everyone seems to love'em
i'd get ST swaybars as well but thats just me.

ahh by shocks i meant struts/dampers/shock absorbers im not sure what you guys call them

uk cars dont have tems. so im just going to fit standard kyb shocks. I already have them on the front anyway

perhaps though i may consider lowered springs

lol funny how i was confused as well.
when u said shockers for some dumb ass reason i was thinking of springs HAHA!! W/e.

bottom line i meant jus replace as much suspension parts as possble while your down there

Good Luck

yeah ill replace the shockers and perhaps buy some lowering springs. and whilst im on ill change the drop links on the arb as there ancient by the look of them
