Default Blown shock?

Hey guys, hope yuo can help me...when Im driving at highway speeds my wheel really shakes, and I know I have a bad shock, could this be the cause? It is a very strong shake, and only really does it at over 50 mph. Thanks for the help.

if you have a blown shock, you will notice an oily residue from the shock, check it out

when 3 out of 4 of my shocks were bad, it never did that on the highway.....
but if i hit a little bump my **** woiuld start bouncing all over the place like a low rider t

the shocks have nothing to do with wobbling or rattling..that is more based on the balancing of the rim and tire.


i say take it to a wheel shop and just get ur wheels rebalanced, and have them check the alignment as well. that is where your problem is.
