Keeps hitting floor

Post by Davidmbe »

I have a 1952 convertible and when I have three or four people in the car every time we go over a bump it touches the floor. Could it be the exhaust? Or is something wrong with the suspension? I don’t know

Firstly I would check that your bump stops are in place front and back.
If the bump stops are not in place the suspension can travel further than it is meant too and that may allow the car to hit the ground.
If the bump stops are in place I would suggest that it is time you replaced the rear springs and checked the front suspension for wear to the rubber bushes and correct height..
