banshee tuner Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 They don't sound good to me. What year is your banshee? Quote
Wheatchex Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 First this question may seem a bit obvious but I'll ask it any way, are your springs on the shocks? I see this as one of three things, First if no springs then you will never get the shocks to return. Second the springs have broke or are worn out. Third and probably the most likely thing is that the shocks are shot and will need to be replaced. How does the shaft of the shock look? Is it nice and smooth with no pits and no discoloration? I would take the shocks off and shake them to see if you hear anything rattling around. Also the shafts could be bent slightly which would cause them to stick. So my suggesstion is to get a set of aftermarket shocks. Most people have their opinions as to what you should get. Search and you should find lots of opinions on this. Wheatchex Quote
SICK BOY Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 Sounds like it's time to buy some new shocks. Quote
DUNEDEMON Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 Don't overlook the front upper and lower control arm bushings. They could possibly be worn contributing to your issue. Quote
