Been having problems with my gaz shocks had them for a couple of months now.
Spoke to gaz today and they told me to take them off and send them back to check for the problem.
I did this tonite and my car is sitting on axle stands again!
What i did notice was the amount of force required to push up and down the wishbones they wern't like that when i fitted the shocks.
I had a geo set up by a indie garage in the mean time.
Should these wishbones move up and down freely?
Wondering now if this maybe my problem.
BTW Problem is the cars too bouncy makes me feel sick or too soft and the front is quiet scary at high speed.
Springs 375 F 400 R 12/18 clicks.

I was waiting for you to pop up daz how are you mate?
What do you think to my theory over the wishbones bear in mind the gaz shocks are lighter than the bilsteins.
