And yes, front and rear Hellwigs was my first weekend project. Bilsteins or similar are A MUST! These are the stock front shocks taken off my Axis days after driving it home from the dealer. BOTH shocks were shot. One, to the point is was just collapsed as I unbolted it. The second, wasnt far behind.

Again, the addition of front / rear Sumos, Bilstein's, Hellwigs, rear air bags and MOST importantly, Commercial rated tires and Caster alignment make this Axis a pleasure to drive now. 1 finger driving as compared to white knuckles...
I'm going to check the side turn signals. My son has a Chevy Tahoe and the two rear shocks were frozen, we beat them with a hammer hit then into the garage floor, how can a shock freeze solid? I have never seen that happen in 50 years. I figure GM thought that was good for cornering, no lean. I hope the wife's car never does that
