If you are having engine "problems" that might lead you to believe it's the stab-o-shock, it could be/also be the motor mounts. HTH Capitol CEG Classifieds Make an offer! 2005 GTO IBM - 337hp/336tq

Adding the ES roll resistor insert would be a more effective way of reducing lash. Filled mounts a much greater effect yet. Each with a rising trade off - road feel verses NVH. ~ The shock itself is like any other type of shock. If it is leaking or if the shocks's bound or rebound strength is bad. Then the shock is bad. It is easy to change. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
