Bouncy Rear End

[dodgemason]

Lately my truck has started having a lot of bounce in the rear end. Im hoping that my shocks are just worn out. Ive still got my original shocks with 94000 miles on the truck. I carry a lot of weight much of the time too. Is there anything else it could be though?

not really start by replacing the shocks

Shocks or the springs may be losing some spring and my need re-arched.

Do you have more information about the truck in question?

I say shocks. And if not, won't hurt to change them after 94K miles.
My Bronco II needs them in the front but haven't had time to change them.

I was hoping but then I saw it was in general automotive.

Shocks are recommended every 50k miles even though I think part of that is a sales tactic personally since Ive seen many that are fine at 80k but it cant hurt to start there.

And i would make sure when you fit new ones they are heavy duty and are the best brand you can afford.

I agree the money you save on labor doing it yourself is best spent on quality parts.

"Michelle Obama" was my first thought on the thread title.

With the roads around here I'm surprised mine aren't shot after 20K miles. Theres so many pot holes on the local interstates that it takes an hour after I stop for my truck to stop vibrating.
