Default blown strut?

when i push down on my left front fender..the shocks squeeks as i push..does that mean its blown?..also how bad is it if i ride on different settings..i have agx on a integra..the right is sett to 2 and the left dial is broken so i have no idea what its set to..the ride feels balanced though..i dont know how you can really tell the difference..

when you push down does it keep bouncing?

when you hit a dip in the road, does it keep bouncing up and
down long after you have hit the dip?

if so it's blown.

w/ your agx, make sure your don just underdamped.

squeeks could come from alot of places.. Mostly Ball joints, and bushings.

Check bushings first.

alright..but it seems to ride fine..even with the squeek it absorbs well over bumps..i just hope not having the same setting wont affect the ride much..

well your handling is compromised if your setting the shocks differently, particularly the right and left settings.

i have different settings on the front and rears mainly because i like it stiffer in the rear... but definitely the same from right to left.... dont break the settings **** by overturning it.

i've heard that if you push down on it and your car bounces 1.5 times the shock is ok.
