Front Shock - Question

    Think I may have a front shock going or gone. Noticed this morning a weird noise and feel when I made a turn over a bumb (into a parking lot and slow). Is there an easy way to check if this is actually the case?? Thanks.

    Remove the shock and pull it out and compresses it. It should be smooth equal resistance through the stroke cycle. Chances are you only have a loose bolt on a suspension part like the track bar.

    It could also be a missing bushing. The shock bushings can fall out as they wear which will cause a clunk sound as the suspension works.
