Thanks, Larry. My car has the original shocks, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are bad. However, would my shocks be the gas type you are mentioning? If not, you are saying, I should not experience an increase in ride height with new shocks?

Just wondering, because if you do a search for shocks and 190 you'll see many instances of the ride height increasing.

As far as the feathering, is there a "cheap" or easy way to check that. If that is the problem, I'd rather just fix that instead of new shocks.

Thanks
