Selective Ride Issue
I have a 2003 with 52,000 miles. The car rides like a buckboard. I've checked codes, had none. Removed left rear tire and checked shock for shipping Stop, none. There is power to the switch, power coming seem weaker. Traction control switch seems fine. Any suggestions?

Are you sure there are no shipping blocks there? They would be under the boots with just a yellow strap hanging out of the bottom. Still can't believe after all these years that people are still finding them.

Checked both rear shocks and no blocks. There is power to the selection switch. The power coming out is weak. Don't know if that' normal. Nothing changes switching from tour to sport. Was wondering if the switch could be bad. Feels like it works find. Smooth roads she rides fine, jars your teeth on a bump. Thanks for all the help.

How obvious are they when leaking? I checked mine and there was a film of brake dust on them. I’m thinking that is normal?
I checked them because I too cannot tell a difference when switching.

Ya, checked for the stuffers a couple times. All I have is a very thin film of black somewhat oily dust which I suspect is normal. I don’t see any signs of oil any where else.
Just wonder how obvious the ride change is when switching because I don’t notice anything.
