Alignment?
Alignment?
Hey,
I'm wondering if this is normal or not. I was on I-95 south with 5 people in the car and I noticed that almost everytime the car hit a bump on the road the car's rear end jumped to the left. Anyone experience this?

Probably with the weight, the shocks were contracted, so that when a bump was encountered, rather than absorbing the bump with shock travel, the wheels/tires actually were pushed off the ground. Normal operation would be as the suspension contacts the bump, the body would remain in the same position but when the wheel assembly starts upward, the shock would take the impact, but with the weight in the car.........
We have an RX7 Turbo that with the very stiff factory suspension, you'll feel the back jump out on certain sharp bumps as the suspension is so stiff that it doesn't absort the impact, but actually pushes the body upward and the tires leave the ground. Exaggerated, but that's the idea.
