Best Answer

As far as what they sound like, normally you hear nothing unless a shock is broken. There are however warning signs of worn shocks or struts. STEERING

Worn shocks and struts can allow excessive body roll when turning, which affects the vehicle's ability to safely steer around objects in the road. STOPPING

Worn shocks and struts can allow too much weight transfer to the front wheels during braking, which could result in a measurable increase in stopping distance. STABILITY

Worn shocks and struts can allow excessive roll, sway and bounce while the vehicle is in motion, which reduces the driver's control.

What sound does bad car shocks make?

Generally, they don't make a sound. When you go over a bump, and your car keeps going "bounce, bounce, bounce" several times before it settles down, your shocks are shot. The shock absorber's job is to damp the car's springs - the springs are the real "shock absorbers". The actual shock absorber is supposed to stop the spring after the first "bounce".
