I think my shocks and/or struts are going bad. My car seems really bouncy and rolling lately on turns and when I push one of the sides down it is very easy to push it down far. The suspension seems weak. I have 71,000 miles on the car with the original shocks and struts. How do I know if my shocks and/or struts are bad and how long do stock shocks and struts usually last? Also does anyone have an opinion on this setup up on ebay as a replacement? I'm not looking to get the smoothest ride, I want handling perofrmance for the cheapest price. Thanks

Is sprint a crappy brand?

 

eh.. not the best. the sad truth to life is that to get a true "upgrade" (what most of us consider better-than-stock aftermarket parts) you usually have to dig a little deeper into your pockets and cough up a little more dough.

so basically what im saying is that at 71k, H3LL YES are your stock decarbons shot.. (they just gotta be) most ppl say they go as early as 30k.. i have 44k and mine have been gone >_< and im not exactly sure what your price range is but im pretty sure that for anything under $800 dont be expecting anything better than a stock replacement. not an "upgrade."

but hey.. a working shock is better than a waste of space.. riight?
