So this has happened to me two times in the chameleon car within the past 2 months.
First time I was sitting at a light and all of a sudden felt a pretty evident change in ride height in the rear of the car...my first inkling was that I had a flat tire. So i make the turn and pull over and all tires are fine. I just thought it was the weirdest thing! but no harm was evident so forgot about it.
Last week it happened again while I was getting coffee in the drive through...it's sudden so i have not been able to tell if its specific to one side, but it feels like the car suddenly bulks down....but the suspension feels fine otherwise...surprisingly so. These stock shocks on the 95 feel firmer at times than the aftermarket tokiko illuminas in my 94.
Do shocks tend to have this sudden loss of pressure when they go bad? I was under the impression that if they go bad...that's it...they collapse and make rattling sounds and lose all dampening properties. That's not the case with mine which confuses me a bit.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
