Shock Question


Recommended Posts

Well, weird thing has started to happen. When I have more than two people in the car, me and passenger, the bottom back seems to scrape alot. It sounds like the back right side scrapes just about on any bump. I have 150K miles on the car with original suspension, do you think it is the shocks and/or springs. If so, how much do those run from lexus? Should I just get the OEM ones or are there better aftermarket ones? I don't need sport ones, my first car takes car of that, just comfy.

Thanks.

how heavy are the people you carry around? i have an 03, and when i have people in the car, i know i have to drive a little more carefully around bumps and stuff to make sure i don't scrape my bottom, which i've done several times already... :chairshot:

if the suspension is bottoming out meaning it touches the bump stops

then it is the springs sagging

if it is rubbing the out side of the tire wall

then a good alignment may help

but it just may be in need of new suspension
