Oil on the shock body, a bouncy ride after bumps or the nose dipping under braking can mean a shock is worn. Before you replace it, rule out worn tires, bushings and mounts, since they can also make the ride feel loose. The design gives up to 40% more damping performance than standard shock absorbers.
