Bouncie ride.

[daki66]

I have put new Monroe shocks and since then my car is so bouncie and stiff like i don't have any shocks at all.
First thing i noticed that my air compressor wasn't working because blown fuse but soon as i replaced the fuse it started to work again but it didn't change the bouncie ride.
And pushing the rear of my car down it feels so stiff like it dont have any shocks flexibility at all.(Rear level of the car is normal)
What could it be anyone had similar problem???

Your description contradicts itself. Can't be bouncie and stiff...one or the other. If shocks are holding the air you should not be able to push down the rear of the car at all.

The Rear Suspension In The First Gen Aurora's Is Pretty Stiff If You Ask Me. On My Car I Replaced The Autoride With Passive Ride Shocks. I Just Open My Trunk And Pump Some Air In The Valve I Rigged. The Ride Got Stiffer And Lost Some Of Its Ability To Absorb Quick Bumps. I Would Love To Replace Them With Another Passive Set But I Dont Think By The Way That It Is Engineered, It Could Get Any Better.

I know what you mean. I put Monroe shocks on the back of mine and they suck. With out a full tank of fuel it bounces (its a stiff bounce)so bad that it is hard to keep your eyes on the road. I bought them from Napa and they said they were identical to the factory ones. I think what they mean is that they will fit. I think they are really a heavy duty one that is designed for a truck or SUV. Napa also said you have to put a minimum of 25 psi in them. If I put 25 psi in these shocks the rear-end would be 10 feet off the ground. I like the car but, for an original $37000 price tag it rides like shit. The noise transmitted to the passenger cabin when going over certain bumps is just ridiculous. I have resorted to the softest tires I could find, some kind of Goodyear knock-off, to get any improvement (I had Michelin MXV 4 something and Michelin Pilots). I can not imagine how this car would ride with the full blown speed rated tires. The tire guys always tell me that I have to put the speed rated tires on, “says who”? When I start sliding the car off corners and continually drive at 120 mph then I will get there speed tires. Almost forgot about the avalanche of boulders I will have to swerve through someday. As for the shocks, I think the factory ones are different and that might be why they want $150 a piece for them. I might pick some up at the junk yard and see how they work.

Oldsdad;no, I never did get that function to work using the RKE transmitter following the instructions in the owners manual. Do you have something more on it?

I went out and tried to change my lighting and it didnt work for me either but my courtesy lighting was always on so hadnt had to change it.Will be looking at the problem this weekend following the flow chart on the diagnostics shouldnt be too bad to find out which module it is. Email me and will be happy to scan the flow chart and wiring diag. for you.
