Road Humps

[shahed]

hi folks need some help plz.

just had to change rear shocks on my lucida. I seem to have problems over road humps especially when loaded with passengers..

over road humps it makes a contact sound of metal to metal ...

not sure if its the springs or bushes ...

garage i took it to seem to think nothings wrong.

and in genral driving i get this whistling sound coming from the rear...

again the garage has checked leaks on the diff but it seems dry...

any suggestions?

Sorry having some trouble negotiating the reply.

I had a problem on the front and lived with it for a while, by the time it became concerning I noticed a massive difference in wear on the tyres at the front and went to get them changed. It turned out the front tyres were 185s's (a !Removed! size)and the rears were 205 x 70's!!!! Something you would have expected the garage to check before they sold it to me. The sound dissapeared and I've been driving for 18months without a recurrence. The sound I experience was like a metal to metal rubbing.ed
