Hey guys, when I go over a speed bump I hear my strut release gas or something and it makes that swwoosh sound or a sppsh sound, kind of like a blow off valve would make on a stock SRT-4, haha, its the closest thing I can think of.

I am sure you have heard the noise before, is this normal?

its just the oil inside the strut moving through the valves in the strut. no biggie.

yes, totally normal.

I know the shocks in the SS/SC are gas filled... that's what you are hearing... again... it's normal.

I never hear this noise your talking about. Does not sound normal to me....who knows though.

RaineMan

So you never go over speed bumps with the windows down and the radio not turned up loud?

I've got a set of speed bumps going into my complex... so I hear it every day.

It's just the strut damping the bump--mine does it all the time over the speed bumps at my apartments. It's perfectly normal.

Yep, it's the shocks metering valve.

I live in Detroit, so I hear it everyday!

I've hear it in mine as well, and my old car did the same thing.

you have to have the window down and the radio off like stated above to really hear it...
