93 ZJ no bounce in suspension Ideas?

Dec 06, 2006 2 Replies

Wifey came home the other night compaining that her ZJ was acting like it was being driven in a pot holed field, bouncing her all over the place.



I took the beast out for a drive ( ahhh the jeep that is..) and with just going about 1km and driving over 16 manhole covers I knew what she ment.



I tried bouncing the rear bumper up and down and there is abosolutely no bounce and very little bounce on the front. A look under showed nothing obvious. Any ideas?? shocks or spring? if shocks any recomendations? the ZJ spends 99.9% of it time driving on paved roads and .01% of its time (when I get to drive due to it being broken) driving on dirt/gravel roads, snow banks, curbs etc. :)



TIA Snow...



93 ZJ 4.0.

If you have the type of shock where the shaft is shielded (as opposed to rubber boots), make sure that somebody hasn't installed them upside down, therefore acting as a reservoir for water to collect and freeze.....I've seen it more than once around the onset of winter...
