  • suspension problems

    If i have 3 people in my car (1 in the back) and hit a bump or speed bump i can hear the tires hit the top of wheel wells/fender well. (w.e)

    this has been getting worse...i assume its time for springs/shocks


    opinions ?

    springs and shocks yes...and while you are in there, look to see if the bumpstops are broken...should be visible when you take off the wheel...replace them if they are...

      tires shouldnt be hitting the wheel well.

      sounds like your bump stops are worn or corroded down and your hitting the bottom of the car body with the axle.

        yep...I had the same problem...my springs were worn out, and I had replaced the shocks alone and that didnt fix it...when I replaced both it fixed the problem...I still need to put in my new bumpstops...

          You're not running a different rim with an incorrect offset, are you?
