well, try and make it a habit to not hit bumps, last thing you need to do is destroy the car due to improper care. Try and avoid the bumps until you get it straightened out, dont need more damage than there already is.


Also, dont have a shop do suspension work, its so ridiculously easy, its not worth the labor charges.
Some people don't have the proper tools and/or experience to do suspension work. This could result in serious injury. If one is not confident in themselves, or their ability then I highly recommend letting a shop do the work. All we need is to have someone get injured because that rented set of spring compressors were not on the spring correctly.
