Front suspension "bang"
Hi guys,I have a kind off "bang" on the right front and it is really anoying me.It looks like a have a loose shock which "bangs" everytime I hit a speedbump.
Every bolt and nut is thightened and I'm lost here...Maybe a bad shock,which doesn't leak by the way??Spring looks good as well as the swaybar...Could it be that my right front shock is at it's end??Car has about 75K on it and again no oil from the shocks.Maybe that the outgoing movement of the shock is the culprit??
Any suggestions??

you shocks were shot 50,000 miles ago. Get some Bilsteins and you will feel like a better than new car. OEM shocks don't last they are made to get you off the lot or at best to end of warranty.

Are they THAT bad....I read a lot about the different shocks the guys use on this forum.It's either the Z06-'04 or the Bilsteins...

This would easily cause the noise you described.
