shocks seem weak - 9/21/2008 8:09:24 AM    sasquatchfound Posts: 185 Joined: 5/28/2007 Status: offline Ok, bought a pair of gabriel shocks for the front. I noticed that i can push the piston down with little effort. Is this seem odd to anyone? Thanks, Shane _____________________________ any donor can be a father, but it takes a man to be a daddy.

They may just be a weak pressured shock for smoother ride compared to other shocks.  I`m putting KYB`s in my xtreme when i can get the $ for them..I just rec put monroe sensatracs in my g/f`s caravan and they were pretty stiff in pressure..  _____________________________ add ons: Volant cool air intake Extra set of back up lights new Ice Bear tires NHRA Race Stickers Stock BOSE radio w/cd Custom taillights Custom Frt turn signals Moon/Sun roof (in reply to sasquatchfound) Post #: 2

When i would push down on the piston end it didn''t take alot of effort and thought that was odd.

I have a pair of new gabriel coilovers in the garage that are the same way without the coil springs attached _____________________________ GOT MUD? (in reply to 2002XTREME) Post #: 5
