Thread: "Grinding" feeling when car is coming down from shocks

GTLGDP,

What is the year/model of the vehicle? Is this a regular or intermittent occurrence? Aftermarket equipment / modifications?

Check your front strut mounts. If you pop the hood and take a look at the center nut and bounce the car, does the center rise up at all? Other than that sounds like it could be bad springs/struts.

Get under there and look for any signs of rubbing. If you see clean plastic or steel then you know what it is.

You don't need to go see a "GM certified technician and drop $$$$" for something that you can most likely fix yourself w/ a little bit of investigating. Worst case scenario if its the springs and struts- get quick struts and swap them in. If those are the original struts/springs on that car then it's time to change them. Long overdue.
