push ur car down a few times where u suspect the bad strut is at, now go to the other side and push it down, was the suspected side pushed down alot easier, and bounce a lot more? if so its bad...also this works if you know the other side is good good way is compare to different cars(same models)
i have the stock ss/sc springs( i have lt) .. but its been sounding bad for a good while.. brian(yel-low on .net) did the work for me.. i dont think he noticed anything or else he would have told me so idk. and yes i want wheels eventually and planned on maybe lowering a little more? idk
