OE shocks need break-in period???
If only the "SEARCH" button would work...I would do a search, but 90% of the times, it's disabled!!!! 
Anyways, I just recently replaced my 2 front struts for my 98 Maxima. Both shocks are new OEM and my car is not lowered; entire suspension setup is stock. After the new shocks, my car rides so much harder. Every bump that I hit, it feels like there's no shocks at all. On uneven pavements, it's even worst. It makes this thumpy sound with every crack in the road. I talked to the mechanic that did the job and he said there's a break-in period. Well, it has been a month and still the same thumpy noise. Anybody got any clues to what might be the problem? Thanks in advance.
