Re: FX3 Shocks
Car has been sitting for some time, so not sure what it is.
Flat spots on tires? |

Re: FX3 Shocks
Flat spots on tires was my first thought before I even started the car to drive it. So I expected a possible rough ride. But the clunking coming from the front end over speed bumps and changing the shocks to the hardest setting pretty much stopped it (but not completely). So tires may be some of it I'm guessing. But something is loose up there. Like I mentioned, ride seems a bit spongy as well.
But this is all guess work. Until I can get it on a lift and see whats going on up there, I'm shooting in the dark. But just find it odd that changing the shock setting gets rid of it. But I will have to look at the tires and balancing as well. Hopefully tomorrow. Thanks. Greg

Re: FX3 Shocks
RedRider,
My guess based on experience is; 1. Shaking most likely is from either flat spot or tires being not balanced. Also,severely wornout "A' arm bushings can induce shaking. 2. Clunking noise, most likely, is from worn out bushings. 3. At 99k, it is time for new shocks. Just my thoughts.

Re: FX3 Shocks
All above are great suggestions. Id start with the tires the first as they are the easiest and move on from there. GC

Re: FX3 Shocks
Road force tested. Never heard of that before. Looked it up, that would definitely be a good thing to check out. Will look into that. All great ideas and I will check them all out. Thanks so much for all of your ideas. Gives me a good list of things to check out.
Greg
