An 12 year old car is" bottoming out" during driving. Could this be caused by a damaged rear end suspension?...or what is your guess?

Dj :

Hello and thank you for trusting us with your question. I'm Dj.

Dj :

Bottoming out is usually a combination of springs that are weak and have begun to sag, and worn shock absorbers.

Dj :

The proper way to fix this is to replace the springs, but you can also use spring spacers for a lot less money and get the car back up to the proper height.

Dj :

Replacing the shocks with a more robust, heavy duty shock absorber will help a lot also.

Dj :

Please let me know if you have any more questions on this or if there is anything more I can do to help you.

Dj :
