KYB-AGX suspension leaking gas?? Help!
The maxima is sounding really rough lately in the rear when it goes over bumps. even just riding in the straight line with no bumps i can hear a sort-of 'metal grinding on metal' noise often coming from the rear. It's the worst when i turn or am on a slanted road. I have KYB-AGX struts with H&R springs. Do you think the rear shocks could be leaking the gas out of them? they really feel dead in the back. My mechanic told me it might be the bushings or something also. So what is the point of strut boots or strut mounts and better bushings? do they make the car ride better overall? cause my ride is pretty harsh right now and i have the suspension set on 4/8 in the rear. also, would bad bushings make noise like that? it started about 2 weeks ago and it seems like it's gotten worse recently. Thanks for the advice guys. Always come to you first!

nah the suspension is set on 4/8 in the rear and 2/4 in the front. the struts are probably between 3 and 4 years old and have had about 40,000 miles on them. do you think they could have gone bad? the front ones still seem like they are doing ok, but the back ones seem really harsh. would strut boots/mounts help any of this? do you think i need a rear wheel bearing? how much do they generally go for? are they really expensive?
