Signs that you need to upgrade your factory shocks to a Bilstein set
If your suspension feels “bouncy” or “loose,” it’s likely due to blown or worn shock absorbers. Shock absorbers are essential for dampening the recoil of the coil springs as you travel over dips and bumps in the road, ensuring a smooth ride.
