just noticed today my rear shock (OME, regular length) will make a pffffff sound, like blowing air, when i go over a speed bump at like 5mph. heard this on other cars/trucks. What the heck is it?

Just the shock oil being pushed through the shocks valving mechinism at a fast rate.At that speed you sometimes can hear it but won't at faster speeds.

cool...thanks, never new what the heck it was....always thought maybe it was an indication of the shock going bad.

what tjkj said.. Ive always heard it at low speeds.. more so when your offroad with the windows open..

Need to stay away from those speed bumps.
