ive had my AGXs on for a lil over 2 weeks.. i have AGX coupled with H&Rs.. over the weekend we car pooled and wat not cuz of the holiday weekend.. anyways.. i noticed for the past few days.. that theres a clunnking noise.. i think its coming from the rear shocks.. the odd thing is, is that the noise only comes in when i got over small bumps.. but over like speed bumps, theres no noise. can anyone help me and and tell me if they are shot or not? help a fellow max owner out.. i am concerned.. foreals. peace.

That noise has been driving me nuts since last winter. It's to top mount that for some reason makes a slight rumbly sound over smaller bumps and road imperfections. You hear it going slow, not so much on the highway right? It went away when summer came, only to reappear again on me when I put the Motivational Mounts on. I'm currently working on different bushings to try and quiet things down back there. I think the AGX's are so firm that then tend to transmit more noise though the mounts in the rear. Thats why it was bad during the winter when the shocks were really stiff. Play with the center nut, try tightening it then back it off a few turns. I got mine quiet that way on the stock mounts. They were actually to tight!
