Broken Shock Mount Symptoms...


Recommended Posts

The front right end of my '98 outback gives a duh,duh,duh when going over even the smallest bumps in the road. I think it might be the shock mount, but don't want to pull everything apart to find out the thing is fine. Can anyone describe the symptoms of a broken shock mount? I've had it up on a 2 post lift and everything else seems tight underneath.

 

Thanks guys...

In my 97 Outback wagon it was the front left strut. Replaced both front struts and the upper mounts, the mounts were probably ok, but the strut had a definite "dead spot" in it where there was no resistance in up/down motion for about an inch or so. No more noise. That's my bet.
