I just bought a set of used TEIN HA's for my '93 hatch and I found that when shaken you can hear a liquid sloshing inside, I did a search and found that some people exchanged their sets when they brought them back because of the sloshing sound. Is this normal or are the shocks finished?? Keep in mind that the shocks do provide much resistance when compressed.

 

Anyone????

 

my ha's make a slight squishing sound when i go over bumps and whatnot..... as far as sloshing when you're holding it i can't say....... but i do know you can't go wrong with brand new tein shocks......

 

They may be past their service life and now require a rebuild. Most high end coilover setups have to be rebuilt from time to time anyway.
