'Sound' of a blown shock

[Zdster]

Just wondering if anyone can describe the sound of a blown shock? Does a blown shock actually make a sound? Would I be able to hear the shock when cornering if it is blown? Other than the shock leaking are there any other signs that I can look for while the shock is on the car?

When you go over a sharp bump or an indent in the road, it'll make a low "DOK" sound. Actually, something that is sounds like pronouncing the word "dock"

noise? im not sure bout a noise man. take one off, push it together and if it does come out u know its blown.

koni time man ;)

What do you mean it 'does come out'? I think I will rebuild them before going koni's - sorry Trav :p :D.


The sound that I have at the moment sounds like there is rubbing or something is hitting something, however when I have taken the wheel off the tyres and inner/outer guard have no signs of wear. It is only on the one corner so that is why I think the shock might have gone???

Maybe I will take it to a suspension place to get them to check it out.

take it to pedders and do a full suspension check for $14 = ]

quickest test is to bounce your car stop bouncing an it should settle in two an a half bounces if amy more its not reaally aceptable

aaronng has the sound phonetically correct hahahah if it can be put into words... i think of it as a "clunk" but then again everything is a "clunk"...

when you are drving you will also notice that the shock is less responsive and takes longer to rebound.

pedders are crap.
