Re: Rear suspension bottoming

Hi,

I'm having a similar issue with my own Cambridge Special.

When I push down on the back end of the car the body obviously drops but fails to return to the same or similar level.

Is this a spring issue or damper issue?

I'm thinking about servicing the dampers as a matter of course. Hopefully this will help.

Thanks for any feedback.

I still have some Sports springs in stock if required.

Re: Rear suspension bottoming

I once re-set a pair of large semi-elliptical springs using a block of hardwood and a ******* big hammer. Arms and shoulders ached for days, but the end result was good. Just mentioning this, not really recommending it!
