I recently purchased a 1997 camaro, with 106,000 miles on it. It is in really good condition. I test drove it and had my mechanic check it out before I bought it; he gave me the thumbs up. Now that i have been driving it for a couple of days, with passengers in the car, i have realized that when i go over bumps.. like the ones that you go over when leaving a gas station to get back on the road… i experience a loud bang from the rear of my car. Could this mean that the rear shocks or struts need to be replaced?

      For the rear over bumps if you can check out more faqs just like this yourself by the axle of the metal perches in.
      For the springs rubbing against their metal perches in either case technical service bulletin b005001 calls for the metal perches in either case technical service bulletin b005001 calls for the placement of the bottom of each spring congrads on the axle of each spring congrads on the metal springs which are popping over bumps.
