TMCTR Neutral Newbie March 5, 2011 Share March 5, 2011 Was in my Father's car with Dad, Mum, Grandma and Grandpa, Baby sister and I. When encountered a hump, the car came down with a "BOM" sound, nothing much really, but somehow i feel my heart pain uh ... Is it the Rear suspension reaching its limit? The car is a Colt Plus, even with Dad, Mum, Sister, Baby sister(baby chair) and I, also encounter same problem.. Help me clarify any doubts! Thanks a million! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5936 1st Gear March 5, 2011 Share March 5, 2011 If this is an isolated occassion, maybe no damage done. Just go slow on hump next time, especially on full load. However, you can also check for any signs of oil stains on shock absorbers. Oil stain is sign of leaked absorber. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonTan 2nd Gear March 5, 2011 Share March 5, 2011 Yes. The suspension travel has hit the maximum. It's like you compress the spring fully. Nothing to worry. Your father car he never worry, why you worry? Metal are strong...nothing will spoil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
