| My Car Is Still Bouncy After Changing To New Absorber...help!!! by phal(op): 6:23am On Apr 19, 2024 |
Hi Nairalanders, I drive a 2010 Nissan Sunny (AKA Fashola), my suspension was not doing it job anymore as it has already been slightly over a year I installed the absorber. The car was too bouncy and doesn't absorb shock any more so I bought a brand new absorber and get it installed but yet when I ride it still bounces though it was fair compared the old shock absorber but the new absorber doesn't feel right as it should being a new absorber. When I hit even the smallest bump i do feel like it was a very big bump as the new absorber doesn't absorb the shock and the car seems like it swerving whenever this happens. Another point is, I raised the car a bit by giving the shock absorber to welder to lift the base (I did same to the old previous absorber too & it worked perfectly well until it worn out) as the road I ply every day is a bad & bumpy road & the car hits the ground hence the raising. What can I do to eliminate the rough ride even after I have installed new absorber.... All the car gurus in the house Please help !!!! This is very urgent!!!! gazzuzz kingreign ikenna351 |

Have you changed the springs before? |

hodusglobal:I haven't, though my mechanic claims he changed the front springs only (I doubt if he did though) |

You shouldn't have given it to a welder for anything. Check struts that needs to be replaced. Springs could be an issue too. Use higher performance shocks.look for springs with higher spring rate 1 Like |

phal:When you say "BRAND NEW" are they really " BRAND NEW"? Some people will say brand new when its actually refurbished and resprayed old tokunbo parts. Have them dismantled and checked for hydraulic pressure. https://www.nairaland.com/8065335/maintenance-tips-toyota-cars . |

phal:you deserve what you get for abusing your car. Imagine welding shocks to raise height. |
