Do bad shocks make a "swoosh" sound when turning sometimes?
OK, just replaced the upper control arm and ball joints on both sides of the 1984 300DT. Sometimes when turning, (I seem to notice it more when in reverse) I can hear a slight "swoosh" sound coming from the right front. I'm thinking bad shock? Any ideas??

Usually they make a clunk or creaking noise. The power steering will make a swooshing noise when you turn all the way to lock.

Did you manually compress those shocks before installing them?
Did you read any instructions which came with them ?

The shocks are at least twenty years old, maybe older so I do not know or remember how they were installed.

You did not mention that..
20 year old shocks need to be replaced.
