don't remember, whatever it was that came with the original car. i don't race, so i don't really maintain the car.

Sounds like a bent shaft most likely.

You gotta set the droop to limit the down-travel on the shocks (So they don't bottom out). Nothing seems to screw up shocks faster than bottoming them out.
I have forgotten to do this in the past and paid the price, now everytime I mess with the shocks, I readjust the droop to limit the downtravel to just before the shocks bottom out...
Hope this helps...
