failed front shocks?

That's unfortunate. I have been lucky enough that I haven't had any dramas with my stock shockies with aftermarket springs...

[blackbetty]

yes. i agree kaanage. just so you folks know, i could compress it with little effort by pressing on it with one hand while holding the shock with the other hand. no body weight involved.

it's quite appalling actually to think that i was driving around with this. no wonder the car felt like someone was constantly pushing it up and down around uneven corners. it felt floaty (and scary!).

yeah it has that charming nautical effect.....turning in any direction requires a sick bag

Friggin dangerous too with the tyres loosing contact if the road ripples and speed combine to produce the resonant frequency of the unsprung assembly.
