How to identify a bad shock absorber.

Meh... the title speaks for itself.

Great video! This really helped me with diagnosing my mazda 3 shocks. Thanks!

This is one of the most simple videos about shocks that shows an oil leak and a bad shock in simple terms that anyone can understand. I agree with you on the 50-70K replacement. My small car had KYB struts and I replaced the rear after 100K and the shocks were soft but still functioning OK, the springs were broke due to high mileage (300K).

@@slimJimmey it's probably not the best idea to cheap out on shocks

Hope that car was his , watch the paint work

Great video but get some gloves bro damn

[@charliesmith7942]

Wrong. U don't want a shock to shoot back up on its own. That's like having just a spring in your car. The shock should resist the rebound of the springs

[@jackadamz3]

You don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m sure you never replaced shocks or you would know.

[@charliesmith7942]

@@jackadamz3 shocks are supposed to control the speed of the spring. Are bad shock is one that moves in and out without any effort

You might never have seen a shock absorber in good condition. 😂
