REFERENCE: MatWiz' abs-shock cross-interaction theory ...
Employing MatWiz' abs-shock cross-interaction theory, would this be a viable test for worn front shocks?
TEST 1:
1. Find empty parking lot with normal-sized speed bumps
2. Drive over speed bumps at slightly faster than you'd normally go
3. Near the top of the speed bump, brake slightly harder than normal
DATA POINT:
- If you experience unnatural violent shudder, then your front shocks are worn; (buy new Sachs, Bilsteins, or Koni's). (see ABS-pulsation PS below)
- Else, your front shocks are ok (or your ABS module is bad).
TEST 2:
a. Open hood and disconnect ABS control module harness cable (or just pull the ABS fuse).
b. Repeat MatWiz' abs-shock cross-interaction test
c. Reconnect the ABS control module harness connection
DATA POINT:
- Nobody, to date, has ever experienced the unnatural shudder under these conditions; so you shouldn't either, even with bad shocks.
PS: We know all about what ABS pulsation feels like; this isn't it; it's muuuuch more violent and it's felt totally differently.
