Default Shocks

Hello!

I replaced the rear diff bushing and front one’s and luck wasn’t on my side! Clunking noise is still in the rear so I assume it’s the shocks!

The pictures below are the ebachi springs I believe. They have the shocks so I might as well throw these low mile ones on their for now so I can save money to get new ones.

Would anyone have any suggestions on these? Good/bad?
Easy install?

Feedback is appreciated!

Already answered In your many other threads. How many different ways do you want to be told the same thing?

Find the problem, quit throwing parts at it, and quit being a cheap ***

Trust me, guy, If I found the problem I wouldn't have been posting threads left and right. I've gone to multiple shops and they all tell me different things.

Throwing parts at it is actually helping narrow the search, let alone improving my suspension. I planned on upgrading everything sooner than later anyway.

I'm not really sure how I am being a cheap *** when asking for advice.

I'll roll back over the previous threads that had some help on them.

Aside from that,

Thanks for the feedback!

Install will be basically as difficult as any other suspension setup. Just read through some articles on here and get the basics, then determine where you may struggle given lack of appropriate tools (spring compression) and determine if it is a route you want to take yourself.

Solution for all my350z posts regarding a "strange noise:"

Replace EVERYTHING until it goes away.

Joking.

Yes, kind of how it works. If you have an older model you are looking at a car with 15 plus year old parts. Anything that is rubber or moves is probably in need of replacement! LOL
