  • Best way to test shocks?

    Hey, I'm starting to think I might need some new shocks. Problem is, I bought the car used and its the only v6 f-body I've driven. So basically, I'm not sure if its supposed to be soft or not. Is there a way of testing to see if the shocks are going?

    Thanks.

    Check if you still have stock shocks. If it's the stock Decarbons then most likely they haven't been changed. Take off Z28 shocks are under $50 so it's a cheap way to get a much better ride. Stock shocks start going south after 50K. If you have 100K on the car then you definitely need new ones.
