other then tire wear.. is it bad to ride on blown shocks? My front right just blew out. Theres shock fluid all over my suspension . I had my skunk2 sprigns on there less than 2000 miles, and they blew already. Then again, the shocks have 84k on them... The reason I ask is because I am going to Tampa for the summer for vacation. And I am planning to drive down there. I dont have the time to order shocks and put them on because I leave in less than a week.

I guess I'm kinda paranoid that my shock is gonna dry up and snap if I get a big pothole on the interstate =/.

 

time?? its takes about a hour to swap them out..... both sides... blown struts are scary to drive on i know that much! i wouldnt make that drice with blown suspension

so post a WTB thread on s2ki.com and do it yourself. its so easy to remove them.

 

its a great idea!

 

its not hwo long it takes to change it out, its waiting for the damn thing to be shipped to me

 

meh....i drove around on blown shocks in my S13 till i finally got my TEINs. I was fine for a few thousand miles. lol i was young(er) and super ghetto(er), ok?!

 

Just get some cheapies from autozone for the drive to Tampa and back. Then order OEM ones after you get back.

Driving on blown shocks is flat out dangerous.
