Bottoming out


Carl Patterson

Recommended Posts

I've got a 93 Camry. With those speed humps in shopping centers I have to crawl over them otherwise the car bottoms out. Is this normal. I've just had a rego check and there are no problems with the struts.

Many Thanks

Carl

Find out what exactly is bottoming out. Some car park speed-bumps these days are so severe that the mudflaps of standard-height cars scrape if you go over too fast. Being a '90s model though, there is a distinct probability that if it is still on original suspension that it is completely shot - still roadworthy and the car might look right when sitting still however. Try bouncing each corner of the car and see how it responds - if it pogos up and down a few times then the shocks are stuffed.
