how do you know / tell if the shocks are knack't,
the roads are pretty dire around us, the car seems to bounce and every pot hole feels bad through the steering wheel,
tyres right pressure, tracked up to date, car done 100k no leaks passed mot ok, just want replacement shock if knack't, no lift or xtra heavy duty,

rock the vehicle ,shockers should stop it bouncing

Pikey · May 12, 2013

Park it level and "bounce" the corner it should come up smooth and not bounce repeatedly.

discodrivercumbria · May 12, 2013

just been outside in the rain! oh it bounces!! like a chivers jelly,
got odd of roof bars and rocked it, just rocks, doesn't slow down immediately,
fooked or not?

D2 hasn't gut turret rings its got plastic cone shaped things that you don't need to remove.
Top of damper is reached from inside the engine bay and its only one bolt. Mind you I did the springs at the same time.
