Steeda Pro Action Shock Blown.

[Jpump]

So, I've been chasing a rear end swaying issue for for about 2 months. At first, I thought my rear lower control arm bushings were shot, along with my toe link bushings. I had them replaced with spherical bearings and it didn't help. Today, I decided to pull my rear shocks off since it's easy. What I found is my passenger rear only rebounds halfway. It'll get about halfway through the rebound and just stops. So I tried the driver side, and it rebounds all the way. The passenger side is a good 1-2 inches short of reaching the mounting holes on the body. The driver side I had to compress a little to get it under the alignment tabs. I have probably about 30-35k miles on my set of shocks. Also, the coating on the lower mounting point is cracked and falling off.

Ordered a new set of non adjustable since I never messed with the adjustment after the initial install, only to find out they were out of stock for 2 weeks. Steeda-Sergio messaged me and said they would sell me a new set at a discounted price since shocks are a wear item, and when he found out they were out of stock, he upgraded me to the adjustable shocks I currently have at no additional cost. Very happy with Steeda's customer service.

What do you mean by swaying? Shocks might not be the answer.

What do you mean by swaying? Shocks might not be the answer.

Agreed. Unexpected or uncontrolled swaying is sometimes a rear hub or other joint failure. Sway cause or not sounds like that shock is definitely blown. FWIW, that model of shock should be expected to fail a bit often, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Shocks are a wear item. You can drive cheap average shocks which dont fail much (but dont impress), cheap and good shocks which fail often (Steeda adjustables in this case), or expensive good shocks which require expensive service every year or two. Pick your poison.
