Bad Magnaride Shock?

Knightfall50th · 03-24-2026, 11:04 AM

I've got a 2017 SS with Magnaride with 77K miles.

When going over speed bumps or large potholes I can hear a clunk from the front left. It almost sounds like it is bottoming out on that side.

No loose components, No noticeable fluid leaks

Possibly a bad shock or other ideas?

Bad front shock on one side will dive that direction under hard braking.

Typically I'd just replace it since it has a lot of mileage anyway but they are pricey!

I would suggest both front. But they are pricey lol. Its actually why i didn't look for a 1LE. I figured future upkeep was going to be a nuisance.
