something is up with my shocks !....

hey guys, i have an 05 coupe. ive had a roblem with my rear shocks making noise, a clicking when they compress. now i was going over some speed bumps and decided to look over at a reflecting window and see what they were doing.. when i go over the bump and the back of the car comes down it seems as if it slightly bounces again.. are my shocks old ? i only have 26000 miles on her.

what do you think? any ideas about how i can test my shocks ?

You can take them off and see how hard/easy it is for you to compress them. If they go down quickly it's time to replace them.

Well your first problem is you own a G and your able to go over speed bumps. Get coilovers, slam it and fix the rear shock and speed bump problem all in one shot!

that was the dumbest post iv read, just because its a G it has to be slammed?

Dont be mad because you cant go over speedbumps, and have to constantly watch the surface of roads when you drive
not to mention how long it takes you to get in and out of driveways, you probably just forget that and park on the street.

Detroit- clearly you have no sense of humor. It was a fvcking joke. But nice waste of your time with that rant. Your opinion is your opinion and I have my own. Congrats tho buddy.

OP- I'm happy to help you out with the suspension if you want to PM me. Ive replaced the entire suspension on the G 3 times on my own so i can probably answer some of your questions. Sorry if my joke offended you like it did that *** clown, Detroit. I understand stance is all about personal preference. PM me if you have specific questions.
