Are my shocks out? 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be austinbrick on  Sun Apr 17 14:52 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hey!
Last year I replaced bushings, control arm, ect, but not shocks--I ran out of money and it's on my list of things to take care of. About a week ago the rear of my wagon begins making a HORRIBLE noise--like metal slamming together. I can drop the bumper and it doesn't move (My ride height seems good) but when I give her a shove from the side she shakes pretty hard. I just had a friend take my ride around the block and declare "possibly shocks", it's dark and I can't go look right now. The roads here SUCK and I knew I needed to replace them, but as a full time student with a full time job.....
Anything I need to look for in the morning? How bad can it be if I drive around for about another week or so?
Thanks!!!
