Thread: D2a, Violent Rocking over bumps

With 190,000km on your original shockers im pretty sure they have had it.Put some new ones in and you will notice the difference straight away.

X2 the shocks. Any decent suspension shop should be able to test them for you and advise if you are unsure. Alternatively give each corner a good push down and see how many conciliations it takes to settle. My memory is rusty but should be only 1 or 2 at worst if they are ok.

Cheers

My D1 got to 200,000 on the original shocks, and they were stuffed. They were so bad that I could compress them by hand with no effort once I'd removed them.

If you are still on the original shocks, I would suggest that there is a very good chance that you will need bushes too. Taking it to a suspension shop will give you the answer.

Yep, done the bounce each corner test. I suspect the fronts are not too bad but the rears are stuffed. A test will generally settle after one bounce but there is an ongoing rocking that will last for another 4-6 oscillations before settling.

Are you referring to shock or suspension bushes?

Looks like eshocks, here I come!
