you should probably tighten the bolts. also, make sure theyre not bottoming out. i assume you measured before buying to make sure you get the correct length?

Shocks on the front or rear or both? On the front can you see if the bushing is squished at all to indicate they're tight? How much of the threading is coming out on the top of the nut on the front under the hood?
