I have been having tons of noise from the front drivers side suspension and i lifted it up and couldnt find anything wrong. Well the sound has been getting a lot worse and now it starting to happen on the passenger side too now. I looked under the car this morning and i noticed all this fluid but i cant figure out where it is coming from. The top of my shock looks like it is cracked off, but i cant tell. What do you guys think?





Thanks for all your help.

 

If you give it a few pushes on the corner where you suspect the blown shock, how much does the car bounce, and how many times does it bounce before it stabilizes itself?

 

It bounces once before stabilizing itself and travels about 3-4 inches depending on how hard i push down.

 

same problem.. reason is the blown shock.. i guess when ur pushing it down.. the sound your hearing is the fluid coming out the shock.. feels like a squeal/squeek but its fluids coming out.. i don't care doesn't bother me i turn my radio up..

 

Does your wheel well have the same amount of fluid all over the place?

 

yep a bit more... all over my axles and axles boot... my noise isn't 2 bad... but ifu got the money get new shocks.. the fluid looks like clean motor oil but its not oil..

 

how long have you had the shocks for?

 

K sounds like im going to go for some new shocks, thanks a million for you help. Next step is trying to figure out if i should replace all four just because, and what kind i should get. No idea how long the shocks have been on the car i bought it with them on it already, but i am sure the drop zone sleeveovers that were on the car when i bought it probably shortened the life of the shocks.

Any suggestions on what kind i should replace them with? I was thinking tokico blues, or the GR-2 set which are both affordable, i have also heard great things about The eibach Pro Damper kits, i might just go with them. I just need to decide if i want to replace them all of just the front, because the back dont make any noise and i am broke as hell so any money saved would be a good idea lol.

 

just switch back to stock for awhile and save your money up until you have enough to buy eibachs. you'll need your saved money someday.

 

Are those the tokico's?
They have lifetime warraanty... :fyi:

The price of the eibach pro damper is the same as the tokicos and gr-2 shocks, so i just need to choose. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by AJ06 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Are those the tokico's?

Please do tell if you have experience with this. I just checked and i would need a copy of my invoice which i do not have, since i didnt purchase these. Maybe i can get lucky and the previous owner happens to still have it lol.

 

I decided on the GR-2 all around because they are cheap, 200 bucks for all four. Thanks everyone for your help.
