Quick Test for Shocks - MG-Rover.org Forums

Gatestar · 23-04-2012, 07:36

I have had a problem with my TF for sometime now, when I go over a decent sized bump I get a bang from backend.

The garage has checked suspension several times and also I had them visually inspect engine mounts and are ok.

The only other think I can think of is my shocks, is there ant simple test I can do to see if they are ok.

I would assume I would notice if they had gone.

I have tried the bounce test but I thought the TF shocks would be stiff so don't get much of anything.

Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks

Quick bump for myself.

No one has any advice or tips.

Could be a loose exhaust too

Is the ride height look ok? Do you get a bumpy ride?
