mikaleda Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Lol I helped my mom drive home her $600 legacy and all the struts were just gone like that one. I had a fun drive home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thats actually can happen. WHen I boughtg Blu2 his rear struts were so bad he was almost bouncing that badly. I considered him dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Brother drove around in his impreza with BLOWN rear struts for over a year. Hit a bump on the highway and the car would slide around for the next 60-70 feet. When we finally did replace those struts the shock absorber on the pass. literally fell apart when we flipped it upside down and water poured out of it.Pretty crazy. I remember making a drive from jersey to pa in a blizzard (it's FWD imp.) in that car with it in that condition on tires with steel belting coming through. On 1/4 of a tank. ...oh the stories..

MilesFox Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I could do this with my ford pinto when i removed the rear shocks before replacing them with air shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaleda Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I just remembered when I first got my gl It had struts and shocks like this also. It scared me when I hit the first pothole and bounced across the road it probably didn't help that I was trying to drive like it was Rwd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDfreak Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I was doing something similar on Forza Motorsport 4... put all the dampening settings to minimum and saw just how bad it is to simulate bad struts... it's downright DANGEROUS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
