    Your are riding on pure spring, my friend. Your oem struts are done.

    They work, but based on age, mileage, they probably should have been replace anyways. Now its just amplified the poor condition of your factory struts with lowered coil springs.

    dropped springs + oem struts/shocks (most often) = bouncy ride

    Here is where it gets expensive:


    $245 (average) to replace whats there:

    $355 (average) to upgrade from whats there:

    Now you are in my boat.
    Good luck
