The past week or so the Driver side Rear of my '04 Sedan had a super loud scary sounding ka-thunk over every bump and the car handled like a$$ and it swerved hard over straight line bumps in the road because the weight of the car wasn't slowed or even like the other side and it bounced off the bumpstop hard everytime makind the car feel like its fightin extreme side winds. I got lucky. No new parts were needed and the shock still hade a super stiff slow rebound as it should and the shaft wiped off smooth and shiny. Rust just found a week point in the top of the Shock's shaft where it all mounts up to the bushing. Nothin my welder, Rubber Gasket and Paint can't fix.
