Hi all,

1. how can i know if my shock obserbers are good or bad?

2. there is a shop near me that sells Gabriale shocks... are they excelent for onroad driving and offroad?

Well, obviously the first sign would be visible phisical damage.

To test for worn out shocks, I use the rebound method. Push on each corner of the vehicle, and if it takes more than one rebound bounce to come to a rest, then the shocks are most likely bad.

Gabriel shocks are cheap. If your worried about the condition of yours, just replace them. You might feel a big change in the handling.

Others might have different methods though
