I have just installed the V2's on my R - amazing! however the rears are a bit soft for my taste. I am wondering can the damping be adjusted without removing the rear shocks? Can I access the damping adjusted from the trunk?

View 2 RepliesInstalled four Gruven rear adjustable control arms and during a visual inspection noticed thin oil film starting to run down both rear shocks. Doesn't surprise me as one of the previous owners installed them minus the rear perches. Anyway, suggestions on replacing just the rears? Cannot find KW replacements, if they even exist. They should but dealing with KW in the past it would not surprise me if they said I have to purchase an entire new set up. Koni Sports? No likey Bilstein.

View 1 RepliesI Just bought a 1997 Ford Explorer V6 4WD and I noticed after the I bought the truck that the whole rear suspension (Shocks) were completely destroyed. I failed to notice this during inspection of the car because it was parked very close to a wall so i was unable to see the area. Now I do know a bit a about cars but I no professional, It seems as if this whole section of the car just rotted out which is surprising because the rest of the car seemed OK. So now my question what do I need to buy in order to fix this I am not sure it seems like there is some sort of cross member that bolts onto the frame that connects the two rear shocks. What it looks like?
View 8 RepliesI went into a shop today and got my corolla checked out and they said that its shock absorbers and struts should be replaced because the oils were leaking and they told me the total estimate of my cost (parts+labors) are about 1300 dollars.
Like, do I need to buy all shock absorbers, struts and strut springs for each of the wheel? (front 2 + rear 2 = total of 4 of each) ??
Question: after replacing rear shocks on 2009 Altima, does in need a rear wheel alignment? After shocks were replaced on my Altima (without wheel alignment), I drove about 4500 miles. After that the tires were rotated and the back tires installed in front. I immediately noticed loud road noise, mechanic says it is uneven tread wear and I think - this is too much of a coincidence. So should they have done the alignment when they replaced the rear shock absorbers or not?
