A worn shock can show up as a bouncy ride, a clunk over bumps or oil on the shock body. Before replacing it, look it over with the car parked and the engine off for a wet, oily body or a damaged eyelet bushing, and leave testing of the electronic damping to a shop, so you know the shock is the cause.
