Noisey shocks or they need replacing?

[leon_lib]

hi all,iv got a 57plate 1.6, i've got some 17"team dynamic mozas and lowered it 35mm on apex springs, I noticed a noise comming from the shocks when going over bumps, I only hear it when the windows are down it's like a swooshing noise like air being compressed if you get me? Only noticed it other week, couple of people said it's just the shocks taking the bumps, I'm just a worried theirs somthing wrong.

Check for any fluid leaks around the shocks

had a similar problem on my Altea when I dropped it 30mm on eibach pro Springs. front shocks started to knock when going over bumps, removed the shocks and tested them, found the shocks we trashed when they expanded. back on standard springs and shocks atm until I can afford some pro dampers.

I get this for the first few bumps but then it seems to go away...

standard car...

Cheers I'll have a look maybe it's just the noise from the shocks taking the bumps,

I also have just noticed the same. Windows down due to the heat, plenty of speed bumps at work and heard the whooshing sound...
