this is what happened...I loaded my 240 with 4 people Sat. night...hit a couple couple of holes -- now everytime I go over potholes a 'psshh' sound comes out my cars rear end.would this be a sign that my rear struts are busted.

your advice is well appreciated.

Maybe. Jack your car up and look at the area where the cylinder comes out of the red housing. If it's leaking fluid out the top, then it's no good.

I checked and everythings seems fine...-no leaksthe rear was set on 3 before, I set it to 4,lil' stiffer but it eliminated the 'psshh' sound.

I think it's normal for those shocks to soundlike that after it's been broken-in.

Larger struts make a psshh noise when they travel... it's normal. My Tein's make the same noise.
