lol yea but that normal right the axle isnt bad? i didnt check if the shocks are blown because they are going through the bag so i would have to take the bag off.

im not sure if its normal if the axle has that much play since i havent played around with it.

regarding the bags to see if its blown you can just remove the shock and remove the fitting. this way u can shine light in there to see if theres oil. when my shock blew i got vaporized air/oil mixture in my trunk when i deflated... but then again my fittings were located on the bottom.

i actually never removed airbags before. when i lift the car up does the bag have to be deflated? and i unscew the 3 bolts up top and 1 on the bottom which holds the strut. and then what i do next unbolt that big bolt in the middle or thats not a good idea lol cause i dont want that **** to shoot out or anything.. and the air from the airbag i know it says zero on my dakota digital guage so im guessing i can just unscrew and nothing happen
