i have had both front and rear shocks replaced . front shocks more than once.i noticed mine while cornering and hitting a bump.the front would bounce and the steering wheel would shake.with the rear shocks the back of the vx would jump around the corner. if you go to an empty parking lot and get the vx moving(you do not have to go fast ,just get the vx moving) ,then stop fast .if your vx does a nose dive,the shocks are bad. shawn
