I was behind a chevy Tahoe and you saw daylight under the tires as it would shimmy up and down rapidly at 60mph. Maybe like 1/2" of travel up and down would be my guess
Wow because that was a pretty late model Tahoe. 2017 maybe?If you see a tire bouncing up and down like a basketball on the highway it's a blown out shock or strut.

True. Guess the shocks are still good on my dodge at 17 years and 217,000 miles6 years old, who knows how many miles.
Probably not. You might not experience the hopping axle, but rest assured they're not damping like they did when they were new.True. Guess the shocks are still good on my dodge at 17 years and 217,000 miles
No but it still goes down the road good enough lolProbably not. You might not experience the hopping axle, but rest assured they're not damping like they did when they were new.
It was both side evenly. Really easy to see when they have that antisway bar on the back of the differentialSeparated tire
I was surprised how firm and hard to compress the original shocks are on my 1991 Mercedes, when I took them off back in May. I was expecting to replace them, and coukd barely compress them enough to do the reinstall. Bilstein or Sachs…Probably not.

I pull a trailer around with 1100 pounds I'd tongue weight with my 2500 ram and it does fine still.I was surprised how firm and hard to compress the original shocks are on my 1991 Mercedes, when I took them off back in May.
