Shock Stuffers

[captras]

I bought my 2003 AE in Nov of last year from a dealer in Nebraska. It was a great deal, and only 18,300 miles. I did notice from the beginning that it seemed to ride a little rough, but thought it was just the sports car suspension. I was reading on here about the shock stuffers. Well, I decided to check, not believing for a minute that they could have been left on from when it was new. But, low and behold, when I jacked up the car....there were the little yellow strips hanging from under each shock absorber boot. Amazing...almost 20,000 miles and 4 and a half years, and they were still there. I cannot believe how well the car rides now!!!!

You guys need to quiet down and quit spreading the word. ;squint: Maybe in another year or two I can pick up a really low mileage '03 "for a song" because the owner just couldn't stand the rough ride. :L
