Rancho shocks????

[Hurtzdonet]

I just replaced my shocks with Rancho series rs 5000 , the 2 front shocks developed a rattling noise so i replaced both with new shocks(used my warranty). Seemed to fix problem temporarily now both front shocks are rattling like crazy again. i confirmed with store and rancho that i have correct shocks . Both Rancho and my auto parts store are saying something is wrong with my truck and breaking the shocks. i just had 4 wheel alignment done and technician didn't find anything wrong with my suspension. the shocks maybe have 250-300 miles on them and no 4x4 use. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

i installed shocks myself top and bottom bolts/nuts are tight and the metal sleeve in the bottom bushing is not warbled out


TIA!

I gave up on Rancho shocks long ago. Same as you, had continuous problems with RS5000s.

When I put those on the back of my truck the EYE on the bottom was a bit to big for the bolt, causing a lot of noise.

Sounds like the shocks are having an internal failure. My guess is a bad batch that no one wants to own up to.

Rancho shocks, the cream of the crap!

Time to stretch the wallet and get some big boy shocks, like Bilstein or Fox.
