Testing for front shot Shocks
Hi,
Since I bough my car I've been complaining on my suspension performance since , but over time i'm wondering if I was sold a car with shot front suspension (i think).
I'm at 70k NX non sport.
Problems I'm noticing:
- When cornering to the left, car bounce back to the right side.
- On a ferry ship, noticed the hood was bouncing up and down for about a good 1 inch displacement (not happing on other car present on the same boat).
My work colleague just bought a 2010 RX model at 60k and he had to replace the front suspension shocks.
Is there a sure way to tell a suspension issue problems that would explain the above symptoms?
Are shocks a common issue for Lexus below 100k?

Chock? Wtf is a chock?
If the dampers are leaking oil around the top seal, they're obviously finished. Alternatively the need to be removed from the vehicle to be inspected.
