What’s wrong with my new shocks and struts, holy moly!!

Changed everything to a brand called Unity. And they make noise like crazy when I go over bumps, anyone ever have this happen?

Is the noise coming from the fronts or the rears?

Found the problem…

So the Unity branded replacement shocks didn’t come with these big ole rubber bumpers that wrap around the shaft of the shock. So I bought a set of KYB shocks and found they were night and day better that the Unity brand, and came with those rubber parts. I bought cheese and got cheesed!! But mystery solved. KYB is the real deal.
