You can tell when the rear shocks on a 1998 GMC Jimmy are going bad by looking for a few key signs. If you notice excessive bouncing or swaying while driving, particularly over bumps or rough roads, it may indicate worn shocks. Additionally, check for fluid leaks around the shock absorbers or if the shocks appear dented or damaged. Finally, if the vehicle's ride feels excessively harsh or you hear unusual noises while driving, it's time to inspect or replace the shocks.
