 Re: Looking for a suspension shop

 Re: Looking for a suspension shop
Havent hit anything serious, and weve put it up on a lift and looked it over a couple weeks ago but it still feels odd. Floaty if that makes sense.

 Re: Looking for a suspension shop
Sounds like a blown shock to me. Go to all four corners and give each corner a good hard push down. If it rebounds more than once, that's the corner with the blown shock.

It is quite possible, if low enough and without bumps, that you blew the shock. Otherwise, age or a good pothole could have done you in. Do the corner check, like I said above, and let us know.
