My 92 Lexus keeps bottoming out. I was wondering if you guys knew where to get some good shocks and struts to stop that. I replace the old ones with stock it didn't work out. Can you guys give me links for better ones? Thanks.
i bought monro STRUTS cost me around 800$ for both....since august 2010, still like new. i even abuse my struts...carrying heavy loads from home to college...many times and i'm still satisfied. i personally would try other brands but that's me, always trying different stuff.
If you car is bottoming out (i.e. hitting the bump stops on the struts), that means your springs are weak / broken. Your struts might be fine.
It's the struts, the springs do sag and they surely do on a 92, but they remain mostly the same spring rate despite the loss of some static ride height. Bad shocks on the other hand...well without a damper to slow the suspension down the car would bottom out on every bump, and that is what happens with bad shocks/struts
Though the Monroe quick-strut has all new parts...gets two birds stoned at once!
