MJLamberson Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 the easiest way to tell is if after a bump your car acts like a waterbed, up and down up and down, with good struts the car will go down then back up, one time only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woldson Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 From the factory the suspension in the rear was soft. What is the mileage on car/suspension?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Usually if the car will bounce several times your due for a new set. My parts car (both cars actually) when I stand on the bumper and jump it seems like the wheels are about to come off the ground. (not actually) Hey Marc how long did it take you to change out your struts? Im hopefully going to put on new springs and struts and am wondering how much work it is. I guess Ill find out when I tear into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 TOTALY CAKE! Barring a stuck bolt, which I did not have one, takes about 20 mins for both once you have the car jacked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
