Are sure it's not the shock mounts busted or worn out?

 

i sold my fit today..great car but not what i need at this point in my life.. going back to a s2k i think

 

not sure, haven't looked into that yet. Going to take it all apart tomorrow and try to figure this out.

 

washed the car. hit some scratches on the front bumper with rubbing compound. they arent gone but very hard to see now. then waxed the lil lady and painted the valve cover just because. the wife now wants me to redo it and make it zebra stripped, coulda told me this earlier. still waiting for parts to come in .

 

It'z Mother's Day...might want to listen to the wifey on that one..

 

have a friend follow ya down the hiway and if the tire bouncing like a basketball the shock's lost it's charge.

 

Bought my used 07 base model Milano red in April with 38k miles on her. That weekend bought seat covers and this past week bought new set of keys for her thanks to my girlfriend losing my only set. What a way to waste $400 ($75 tow, $110 for blank keys 2, $60 for the 2 beepers $140 for the cut and programming of the keys and beepers) lesson learned... Thinking of fog lights and byxenon head light kit for the next month... let's see if the goal can be achieved

 

FYI OEM everything but the switch, for 80.00 + shipping!

 

Nice is that an ebay find or a online store find... because the only real reason I haven't gotten a set yet from eBay is shipping to PR. For some reason eBay thinks PR is a different country or something or other.
And most vendors arnt cleared for international shipping.
Sorry for the noobish question. And thanks for the excellent find.

 

thanks. gonna do that today and try to find the problem. Thinking I'm gonna have to buy a new shock.

 

Had my sister follow me on the highway. She said everything looked normal, no tire bounce, or at least anything more than normal. Removed the shock and when compressed it slowly rebounded and didn't shutter at all. Put the shock back in and torqued everything back down to spec and took it for a test run and the noise was gone. Found it weird that it went away even though I didn't really fix anything.

 

maybe something loose or something not seated properly.

 

Maybe the shock was just jammed and you unjammed it when you fully compressed it... maybe its grease is getting old and sticky (sort of like what happens to screen doors that need relubing). Glad to hear that the noise stopped.

 

We'll see in the next few days if it comes back. Thanks for all the help everyone.

 

Hey thanx TFB I got my decals in from you and they are excellent like all the others that you produce I decided to go with the letters on the hook as opposed to the other one that I purchased from you, the one with the arrow that goes on the bumper pointing to the hook.
And like you said..." I hope that people will stop pull'n me ova and asking me what the H@%! is that thingy

Washed the body to prep for some clay bar action and then a a full cut and buff this weekend.

 

I just shipped to HI and it's the same thing 1st price was 38.00 for a 4 lb package

 

Whoa Vinny that rear bumper is the mix daddy-o, where did ya buy that? I see the CF and thats a vinster special but I like the shape!
Did ya clear coat the CF? It really shines like the real thing.

just put my roof rack on my fit today

 

Big Mike, it's the same lip (VIS)....jus lookz different becuz of the shine.
No clear coat,
If you clear coat this c/f look vinyl it will lose it's texture and the c/f look to a regular black look
I used a store bought rubber/vinyl shine product...
