#27135, "Blown Shock?"


          

Alright help me out guys. I have the the Nex full coilovers which are normally a nice firm ride, not bouncy. On my way to the shore last week i hit a huge dip in the road and literally caught air. Came down real hard. Ever since ive been getting TONS of bounce from the ass end. Like an F-ing Trampoline. To me its seems like i blew the shocks and now all the impact is on the springs and thats why i have so much bounce. What do you guys think? I havent had a chance to look at them yet. Also if im right do you know if i can order just the rears from Nex or Tein instead of haveing to put out another 700 for the full set? TIA

Ps. I Shouldnt have been playing w/my girls boobs, i wouldve seen it coming. Damn those low cut shirts.

my thoughts are with Hooters


seriously though, just push down on the suspect corner of the car, there should be no oscillation when it rebounds, if there is, then the shock is dead.

the first solution that comes to mind for any new problem with my car usually involves a can of gas and a match.... emoji

Yep there dead. It really sucks riding on really firm springs with no shocks. A lot of little bounces. emoji

Anyone know if i can buy just the rear Basic Dampers from tein or will i have to buy the set.. I'm going to check the Sale/Wanted Forum now.

Im sure you can just buy the rears, it would be stupid to have to buy a whole set again if you just wreck one.
