Default How do you know if you have a blown shock?

Does "shock knock" and an oily/greasy ooze all over your rims and calipers constitute a blown shock??
Just checkin.
TIA

Sounds like it...

Does that corner "bounce" when you push down on it...

Sounds like you are just lifting it off the ground!

Just go in a little slower and not such an extreme angle. It is normal for our cars to get that inside rear wheel off the ground.
