Re: Rear end bouncing/goes by itself
If its bouncing like a Cadillac.... your shocks are blown.
Which is exactly what happens with lowering springs on stock shocks- your on borrowed time.

Re: Rear end bouncing/goes by itself
Sounds more like the previous owner installed hydraulics but only had the funds for the rear...hit them switches!!
...Stock shocks are blown, invest in some KYB AGXs or Koni Yellows if you want to not have to replace shocks every few months

After a lot of investigation, he came up, that one of wheels needed repair, but as far as I know, he didn’t try again to put agx back on. I still have those AGX at home (they came in “spare parts bag” with car), but I really don’t want to switch things before I’m “sure” that this will solve problem. But it looks like that will be the only way ![]() As far as I know, he also replaced all bushings, but I’m not 100% sure about that… |

Re: Rear end bouncing/goes by itself
stock shocks on lowering springs are bad news, so even if you put the agx's on and it doesnt fix it you're still gonna be better off.

Re: Rear end bouncing/goes by itself
I wonder if the rear wheel balance is heavily off causing the bouncing effect, especially after stating a wheel needs repair (heavily bent/cracked?). That paired with blown shocks will definitely cause your stated issue.
Maybe have your wheel balance checked on all 4 wheels and go from there.

I guess the right to do list would be: - Repair that one wheel which is slightly bent - Change stock shocks to agx (I hope that they are all right!) - Do alignment check |

Re: Rear end bouncing/goes by itself
I forgot to mention - thank you all for your comments!

Re: Rear end bouncing/goes by itself
A very out of balance wheel can cause the damper to go bad. The force of the wheel spinning out of balance is being damped by the shock. This happening over and over will cause the oil to overheat and cause air bubbles near the piston. Which in turn does havoc to the piston.

Re: Rear end bouncing/goes by itself
I agree with this explanation as well… And will also effect on 4WS as well…
![]() Anyone here using combo AGX shocks and Eibach springs perhaps? How does it feel? |
|

Re: Rear end bouncing/goes by itself
Very good, and mine are at the stiffest dampening front and rear (4 front, 8 rear).

Re: Rear end bouncing/goes by itself
Test them to make sure they are still good.
1)Any visible oil leaks? Look around the shaft seals. 2)Do they compress smoothly? No gritty or sticking 3)Do they return to full expanded? If they are good, try them on the car. Inspect the rear of the car for play in any of the arms and links. If you find any play in the links you should replace what ever is loose.
