[QUOTE="GizmoVance, post: 1128751, member: 8850"] Obviously, I'd be a fool to "diagnose over the phone" on this issue, but it really DOES sound like the exact noise/feel that I, and so many others, experience. As the saying goes, "When you hear hoof-beats, look for a Horse, not a Zebra." In other words, from everything you describe, I would rest assured that it's the FoxShocks NORMAL operation causing the noise and bumping feel. It messes with your head to make you think the whole front end is falling off UNTIL you realize everything is fine and normal.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR]If you Google this code, you'll find a lot of other forums, including THIS one, have been discussing this issue for some time.
