PLEASE HELP! Bouncy ride

By chilango41
- Thu Dec 31, 2009 2:16 am #164873 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 :( :(

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

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
