Shock Absorbers

[kangz]

for the past few days ive heard like a cluncking sound every time i go over the slightest hump, decided to get it checked out buy a friend who is sorta a mechanic, and he said my right side shock absorber has snapped, and i need to replace it.

my questions are:

1. if your gonna get one shock changed, is it better to get the rear pair done?

2. what shock absorbers should i be looking to buy and how much? its for a r32 gtst, its more of an everyday car, so i dont need it for drift or anything.

and 3. can it do more serious damage if i continue to drive the car like this? been real busy latly n got no money, is it safer not to drive it?

thanks for ur help.

SNAPPED?

Get them replaced in pairs. That way at least the damping rates on either side of the car are even. It'll really throw off your handling if one damper has a different rate to another.

I wouldn't drive it if you have broken one of your dampers. Yes it is dangerous.

thanks for that guys....

any prices or brands that i should look for? and yea, its apparently snapped, u can slightly see into the "suspension coils (i dunno wat its called)" and u can acutaly see the shock in there...ill get pictures tomoro if theres enough light.
