Rear Bottoming out

Post by Photoshots »

I am happy with the stock height of my vibe, but I have a problem with something dragging in the rear when I have two adults in the rear seat when I exit my steep drive and go onto the flat part of the drive. What would you suggest to beef up the rear suspension so it does not drag when loaded heavy?

Just go at a angle when going from your driveway to the flat road.

Sounds like you need new springs.
