Default Help. Rear suspension harsh.

As the weather has grown colder the rear bangs and hops over rough surfaces, I changed the rear shocks some time back as we had decided that they were bent and not allowing compression, went full droop ok. I’ve noticed the problem is getting worse as the temp drops so is there a bush (or bushes) which could be affected by the changes in ambient temp, was fine all summer, changed one broken rear arb drop link recently and wishbone securing bolts all turning in the bushes so looking for help for a solution. Cheers.

Yep, that’s what I thought, was hoping for a magic bullet solution, cheers.

Only seems to be the rear, maybe because they’re nearer my backside.
