i read somewhere that there are yellow billies OEM as well, can i check by the # on them what they are.

pressure wise, i rather keep mine kind of soft, 30 rear and 28 front.


update: i took out my rear shocks, pushed in (tested both) they do come back up right away, but there is kind of oily marks on the shocks so i assume they are going bad.

i did put new cheap "Gabriel's" from auto zone on the rear with new shock mounts, and tell ya when i went for a test drive i did feel the difference, especially when making turns, the rear feels tighter and it doesn't feel like going all over the place like before. let see how long it lasts on those cheap shocks

thanks for all the input...

...next weekend's maintenance hopefully..flex disc and center bearing on drive shaft, before it's too late.
