Anyone with blown shocks? How does it feel?

[gloryaccordy]

I think my front shocks are on their ways out...my car feels like it's riding on sandbags. If there's a dip, it feels like I just plopped into my seat...yea, I have to change my shocks, I know...and I'll search...but I just wanted people to share their experiences with blown shocks.

Avoid potholes like the plauge.

i dented my fender with my tire after hitting a pot hole

[starchland]

hey bro, did you try pushing down on each corner of your car...this should give you a better idea

[gloryaccordy]

Yeah...the rears are brand new; the fronts don't really bounce too much. But when I go over any kind of bump the front clunks hard, like I'm riding on the bumpstops (which I very well might be)...

[accrdpower]

u should be able to tell just by bouncing on each corner a few times...if ur still wondering------>take off the struts and manualy compress them. if they stick, then blown! hope this helps

y rears are blown to shit and back....my car feels like jell-o and coilovers don't help much. Whenever you hit something your car will kinda fall into it (pothole) and then swerve away (kinda like it's crabwalking)....feels weird as fuk (WAF) and is annoying, but you get used to it.

it will bounce like a basketball being dribbled by a harlem globetrotter. later.

Ever been on a trampoline?

[gloryaccordy]

Alright...so I'm guessing they're not at all blown. It's just riding stiffer cause of the cold weather. If anything, they don't bounce enough...it just kinda crashes (especially in front)...

That sucks.So your not gonna change the blown ones?

They're not blown, just "tired". I'm debating what to do as my front end needs some work, and inspections are coming up. I really need a right rear shock bushing and possibly a front upper ball joint anyway...eventually I'll probably get 6th gen V6 shocks...
