Left front bounces

[jman11788]

Ok my my left front on my 4runner bounces very uncontrolled when it's sitting there I push down on the hood a couple of times and it bounces and bounces the right front is great no bouncing. Also when I ride it doesn't bounce I dont think. Is this the shock/struts or the coils the make this happen? Is it a big deal or should I just let it be?

That would be a shock issue. How old are the shocks?

They're stock with 128k.

Yeah your shock(s) are definitely worn out, get some new ones and it will feel like a new truck

yep.
and, do atleast 1 end fully. not just one corner. they need to be replaced in pairs.

doing both front and rear tho, can get spendy.

Already did rear and dang what a pain it was, the top bolt were rusted on so I ended up cutting them.

Yeah, with the rears, always either cut them or even just break them off. Kind of scary but the shock shaft snaps real easily.

The fronts are harder to do than the rears IMO. You take the shock and spring out as one unit. Then you need a compressor to disassemble them and move the stuff over to your new shocks. Definitely doable in the driveway or garage but there's a bit more to them than there is to the rears.

Yup, I might try to look for shocks with coils just for the sake of it i'm willing to spend the extra bucks it's really not that much anyways. If I dont do that, then I would have to buy the spring compressor. It's also much easier work installing them with coils already on the shock. But I can only tend to find the Monroes with the coil and i'm not getting Monroes.
