I think my passenger side shock is loose at the bottom on where it bolts on to the axle. When I hit small little bumps I can feel like something is loose and i can feel it in the steering wheel. Does anybody know if its the shock or something else?

 

Given the information (or lack thereof) present in your post, your problem could draw it's roots from a whole lot of places.

The shock is easy enough to eliminate from the equation: grab it and try to move it up and down.

Does it move?
If not, it is in there as it should be, and your problem originates at another point in the suspension.

If it moves: the bushings went out, which causes it to have a lot of slop. Replace it and the other as a pair.

 

i can push up from under the truck and watch that shock move but the other one does not. Does that make sense?

 

Yes, thank you. I'd say that it is a candidate for replacement based off of this information... as long as you mean what I think you mean.

Just to clarify a bit more: Does the shock arm move in and out? Or does it stay stationary, and the whole shock moves up and down?

If the former option, the shock is doing what it should, and your problem lies elsewhere.

If the latter, the bushings wore out, which gives the shock room to "play" before engaging the fluid cushion. Replacement is necessary.

Generally, and especially in this case, when one steering/suspension component goes out, its brother(s) on the opposite side should be replaced with it. So my advice is this: if you need to replace 1 shock, replace the other one in the front as well.

 

the bottom of the shock where it bolts in in moving up and down like its got play around the bolt. Ill get those replaced then. Thanks for your help.
