Ok, my right rear agx is blown, and I have enough for a swap now, so i really don't wanna send all my agx's to get revalved and shortened just yet. I tried changing around the setting on that shock and it doesn't make any difference. Is there any way to just get the squeak out of it for maybe a couple days(drench in WD-40?, some magical pixy dust?, i'll try JUST about anything). As I need to get it inspected, and I don't think they take too kindly to blown shocks. TIA y'all

P.S.- First person to say "buy new shocks" gets a fAwK you!!!

So there is no way to pass inspection with a blown strut? where do you live?

tilt

buy a can of lithium grease and spray it all up in there.

In NJ, they put our cars on four individual platforms that move to "simulate" bumps.

From what I understand, my brother could role through "inspection" in Florida with a completely gutted cat, so states definitely vary.

And you commented on the intelligence of the Mexican employees?

If the shock is blown, squirting a bunch of LI grease up there isn't going to make much of a difference as far as damaging something, and it just may solve your problem.

I guess it won't hurt. I'll let you know any effects. Good, bad, or explosive
