Strange handling characteristics

[si_hartlepool]

Morning all,

I've had my sportlines fitted for about 1500 miles now but over the last 200, my car has developed a few faults;

Very crashy over bumps
More understeer than normal
Random knocking at the rear

Could this be rear shocks? They seemed fine (no leaks etc.) when i fitted the springs :S

Any suggestions will be helpful

Cheers, Si

Most likely the shocks yes

They don't have to leak to be worn, mine have done 70k and not leaked however they need replacing.

Thanks chaps. I'll change and report back.

Rear dampers changed and it's 'better'.

Still a tad crashy and still get a random knocking at the back.

Any ideas?
