trebor69 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Girlfriends Lucida is hitting the bump stops on the rear without much weight in it, now her last Lucida did this now and again but only when fully loaded with luggage and people. I am wondering where to start....it has dampers with seperate springs on the rear but can the springs wear out/become soft ? Could the dampers be at fault ? Any help/info on soft suspension would be greatly appreciated Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absz Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 If the rear is sitting fairly level then i would say the springs are fine and dampers are worn, bounce the rear end by pushing down on the bumper and see if its keeps bouncing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trebor69 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thanks guy's, didn't think it was likely that the springs would "soften"...... will replace the shocks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
