Okay so today I was getting out my house to go to my soccer game and when I went over a bump, the back of my hatch bounced like crazy!! :( :( I know that my sturts are okay because i bearly changed them. Do you guys know what else it could be?? I dont know if it helps but its been really cold outside and one of my tires has a bump too. Hope you guys can help :( :(

what is your suspension setup? did you look to see if the shocks were leaking?

i did but theres no leak. I know what your talking about because the struts i replaced were blown. To me it doesnt seem like the same bounce as when i had the blown struts, I know it sounds kind of dumb

if you have your car totaly slammed then the shocks may be bottoming out and have blow because of it.

they also might not have anything left to leak out. ( kinda like if you know your car leaks oil and you havnt checked it and all of a sudden its not leaking anymore prolly kuz there isnt anymore oil to leak out. :lol: a friend of mine was like hey my car hasnt leaked any oil in a few days maybe it fixed itself. i checked his oil and low and behold there wasnt any in the motor lol)

haha thats funny.. but if they were leaking it would be noticeable since i cleaned them before i put them on like like 2 months ago
