rear end bouncing about

Robti · 9th August 2019, 08:39

Hi as above when driving along and hitting a dip/bump in the road car bounces a bit more than other cars I have driven, shockers showing oil misting on them so suspect its this, any confirmation on this or anything else to look at ?
Thanks

Thanks Matt read that and brought up the tramlining that I forgot to mention

okay so the consensus is that its shockers how easy on a tourer to renew I know about taking the load space sides out for access, so what else, couldn't find anything in the how to section

Should be those then.

Fitting is a piece of cake once the rear trim is out - sadly much easier for a Saloon, but still not so bad of a job.
Remove everything that's in the way, drop top mount and bottom bolt, reverse.

If you reverse, it will fall off the ramp!
