Leaking rear shocks at 28,000 miles
Seeing as my dealer was nice enough to point out the fact they were leaking, during my last oil change. I finally had them replaced under warranty.
I wanted to wait a week, before I posted how amazing the truck is now....like a giddy 3 yr old kid.
I do have to say there is a noticeable improvement. It's surprising what you'll get used to when something wears out slowly.
In retrospect, I keep thinking how when I take my usual morning left turn onto a certain road, the back was wallowing as I straightened out. Noticed it, but would for that split second think, it's just the truck getting older.
Totally forgot how nice the sway bar kept the truck flat when changing lanes as it now was once again leaning over to the next lane, instead of sliding.
Anyways, as I'm not the only one, that's had bad rear shocks, from what I've read on here. Check yours, because it was handling like crap, and the improvement is very noticeable.
I just got lulled into, this is how it handles with X amount of miles. Not fully realizing, I had no shocks at all and it was handling terrible.
