Question: Hi, about 4 months ago I had my rear air shocks replaced at

Hi, about 4 months ago I had my rear air shocks replaced at my garage. Each and everytime I start my car in about 3 minutes I hear the air filling the rear shocks. I think thats what the noise is. They were Monroe shocks and parts and labor was almost $200 so not cheap. I also hear the same noise now at times like when car not on level road or when extra people in back seat. I think that maybe installed wrong???
Thank You,
Paul

Take it in for a diagnostic. If there was an error in installation the shop should do the repair free of charge.

By Zach Bowman For those who suffer a daily commute through heavy traffic, your vehicle's braking system can bring thousands of pounds of metal, plastic and empty Starbucks cups to a stop hundreds of times before you get to work. It goes without saying that these pieces wear out, but they do so slowly, meaning you may not notice they need attention until ...
