Are my rear shocks bad?
About 6 months ago I replaced my front shocks with the Gabriel Ultra's and I must admit they are awesome. They were easy to tell they were bad because the outer metal piece on both shocks fell down and was making a clanging sound every time I hit a bump.
I had a buddy ride with me today and he said that my rear shocks need to be replaced because he could hear them rattling. So I crawled under and looked but the outer shell on both shocks were right where they need to be. I did the bounce test and my truck bounces about 1 1/2 - 2 times and then comes back to it's resting position.
Is there possibly another test or something I can look for to help me determine if my rear shocks are bad? My truck rides a little rough but hey, it's a Ram.
