Rear Bouncy!

-> 206 Problems

#1: Rear Bouncy! Author: Razpulsedj, Location: Partying with the Info Shufflers

Not that long ago i changed my rear shocks from standard to some raceland ones since id just got my car lowered and it was scraping quite badly

So once they were fitted the car was fine but recently with only 3 people in it always scrapes when weight is put on the rear drivers side wheel

Also you can grab hold of the alloy and rock back and fourth with your hands and the car bounces really badly, so therefore with people in its really low

I dont know if i need stiffer shocks or what....

Thanks guys Thumb Up

More likely to be torsion bars than the dampers, could upgrade to 180 ones?

I seem to recall yours was lowered using the click method too? Could of fubar'd something up with it been done the wrong way.. Hopefully not but it certainly wont be the first time I've heard of it..

Push and pull the shocks through their full extent of their length about 10 times. If they need it, these instructions normally come on a little slip of paper or pamphlet included with them. Have a good look through the packaging.

They diddnt come in any packaging mate as the person who i bought from took then out and then decided to sell but diddnt have original packaging

So what you recommend? Taking off and testing them?

No, taking them off and initialising them.

#21: Re: Rear Bouncy! Author: Razpulsedj, Location: Partying with the Info Shufflers

Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2011 3:23 pm

Yeah so taking off and fully extending and closing

Just hope thats all after reading what some other members have wrote lol

Any tips for initialising them? Pull and push? Lol

Might be too late, and in any case Raceland have a reputation as a poor brand, so they may be too soft anyway even if fully working. Or it could be simply that you have the car lowered too much, or inappropriate wheels/tyres fitted.

Worth a try though, given it costs £0?

Upon inspection the shocks i installed are taking far too long to extend back out meaning they have had it, only installed them new not long ago though.....

New shocks and going to higher the car slightly i think
