About a year ago, I installed a set of H&R Sports with KYB AGX Shocks. I overtightened the passenger front side shock and it broke so I kept the stock one in its place. One year later, at cruising speed around 70 Mphs or so I can feel vibrations and bumpyness, do you guys think that the stock shock in that corner has blown? Or is it some other problem? The thing is I also installed some ingall camber kits and if i change out the shock I would have to pay about $80 to get them realigned again, so I don't want to change it out unless I really have to. What are your suggestions?

 

change it, i think i too will have to put back my tociko's over my Konis which have broke i think, left the car at my mechanics, will tell me tommorow, u should spend the $80 bucks or prob for that amount you might get an shock.

 

You should have replaced the AGX shock and still should. The suspension is designed to work together and when you change those dynamics, it can cause very adverse effects on your car including putting more stress on other components. Replace the AGX shock and then get an alignment when you can afford it. The camber alignment is not nearly as important as matching those shocks as long as its close. Uneven tire wear is much better than replacing suspension components.

 

What part broke? The strut or the retainer?

 

If you change your springs and dont change your shocks, they will wear out wayy faster.

 

You put one stock shock on the car with 3 AGX? Are you INSANE?

 

Heh, its better than driving with 3 shocks ^^

 

Not by much.
