If the shock is blown, that corner will have tons more bounce over the other corners. Try pushing it up and down and bouncing it to see how it handle it compared to the others. I don't think the shock is blown, you may have knicked the brake line or something.

Check the brake fluid level?

Have someone press the pedal hard and see if fluid squirts out?

 

Heres what you do:
1)Go to the nearest corner
2)Offer your services
3)
$1 to see it
$2 to touch it
$3 to watch you touch it
$4 to touch it while you touch your tows
$5 to touch it while you touch their tows
etc etc etc

 

Brandon,cam... GM Synchromesh or Redline MT-90?

 

I started the car, moved the car forward 2 feet, kept jamming on the brake pedal, looked under the car, and there wasn't any fluid. Drove around the block, backed in, and there were spots leading up to the shock or brake line.

When I bounced it it felt the same as the other side. But like I said, there is no definite smell. It just smells like oil but doesn't leave nearly the slickness of motor oil behind.

I am guessing tomorrow there will be another puddle. I know when were were pulling out to the spring/strut we got hung up on that line but i didnt notice a puddle the next morning after the car had sat...but maybe b/c it wasn't turn on. When I let off the brake petel is squeaks.

But what would explain that LOUD pop?

Cam....I will offer my services as you stated...hopefully i make tons of $!

 

Couldnt give an opinion... I'm throwing GM in pretty soon.

Tyler, you can go back to stock struts and a reasonable height for now. I would come over and help in a heartbeat, but you're like 8 hours away and I dont have a license

 

Thanks for the offer!

I just need to know if its the line or the strut. Either way I am getting an alignment Friday. Then I will deal w/ it. Looks more like the brake line as I look at it.

 

Yeah im going to get MT90,Better for old yellerr.

 

Sounds good. I think (and hope) its brakes too.

What's the difference?

 

Redline MT-90 is recommended for my kind of synchros...As opposed to the regular 75-90 GL-4 i have at my job. I really dont want to order it online though!! FML

My car grinds 3rd from time to time.

 

Fight night finally finished downloading, it was going slow as sh*t and those fires right by my house knocked the power out, and my computer was off for almost all day today. I'm going to burn it tomorrow when I get some more DLs.
