Finally found the time to replace the rear shocks and Bonnie drives like a new machine. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but from a test drive along the very roads which used to make me feel like I was riding waves, all is well.

Thanks Ryan for the replacement video and for the product suggestion. I ...

Very interesting. Thanks for being patient with me, as I am learning as I go. Also... just clarified the difference between a shock and a strut via a YouTube vid and things are making a bit more sense. Thanks again!

Both have some fluid visible and the passenger side (the side which the vehicle sways to) has a lot of build-up and the "boot" on the bottom of the strut is pretty tore up. Unless anyone ...

I have yet to really feel unsafe ...
