Strut bounce test help northeast indiana

[buzzkill_75]

i have front struts leaking so I know there is an issue with them. however when i do the bounce test i can barely get the car to go down and it comes straight back up and stops. is this as bad as bouncing more than one or two times.

how stiff is the suspension on our cars. I have only had the car a few months so i dont know if the car has been lowered or modded but it doesnt appear to be.

is anyone close to NE Indiana with a P5 that i could check out their ride. and see whats correct.

can someone at least go out and push down on the front of their car and see how much they can get the car to squat. mine only moves about an inch

no one has a p5 on here can go push down on the front of their car and see if its stiff i mean really stiff. it moves only like an inch down

that sounds about right. i just went and pushed on the front of mine and it didnt move much...although i do have 152K on the original struts & springs, so that might be a factor too

yeah i have just under 100 but thanks for answering at least i have an idea

First we thought struts then wheel bearing but don't know fir sure my tires are cupping real bad on the insides

Any ideas getting alignment checked today

Mine doesn't move much with the push test either and bounces right back once. I've got 166000, though. I'm in East Central Indiana. Don't know how far away you are, but if you're in the neighborhood sometime your welcome to swing by and compare.
