View Full Version : How do I know if I need new shock absorbers for my Toyota Tacoma? pixie 07-30-2008, 04:17 AM do Toyota Tacomas have struts? cdever5 07-30-2008, 04:18 AM There are typical 3 reasons to replace a shock or strut. 1. leaking. 2. physical damage (bent, noise) 3. Weak The first 2 are obvious. The 3rd requires a simple test. Put you knee on the front bumper towards one side or the other. Push down on the bumper 3 hard times. If it goes down very easy the struts are weak. If it bounces more than 3 times once you let up on it they are too weak. |
