Suspension bottoms out.

[rcalzadilla]

2001 PT Cruiser rear bottoms out easily in small bumps.
Can anything be done to smooth out the suspension?

If it bottoms out real easy, either your shocks/struts or springs are shot. If you lowered it yourself with lowering springs, then you forgot to cut the bump stops.

You can cut the bump stops even if you didn't lower it yourself to stop it hitting on bumps but your bypassing the point of my first statement.

Hi CREWZIN:
The car hasn't been lowered and the shocks show no leaks. I have 77,000 miles.
Maybe I should replace the rear ones to see if it makes diference.
Do you recommend any particular ones?
Thanks

I chnaged both front struts and back shocks with TOKICO. But the write-up says they are made for lowered cars. I also have the Eibach lowering kit.
