Rear suspension question!!!! HELP

[achha64]

Hi,

I'm running land cruiser shock for my rear.
Since my last week end trip. The driver side rear suspension seems to be weird.
It making a Boom boom noise 3 to 4 times after a shock. Especially during a low speed bump.

Worn shock or another possible problem? And yes it's more bouncy also. But is a worn suspension make this boom boom sound?

I've never heard a shock "boom", that sounds more like something is loose and making an echoey thump. Check all your bolts and such back there. But if you think it's the shock itself that's easy to test - take it off and go hit a speed bump. If your sound is gone, then it's the shock.

You can ride with just a springs?

Yup. It'll be bouncy and I wouldn't take it to freeway speeds like that, but all you're going to do is look for a bump and listen for a boom, right? It'll be fine.

yup, I vote for broken shock that's banging around during suspension travel.

I hope that is a shock also. Will check it tomorrow.
Those land cruiser shock was a used one from a 1995 lexus lx450
