Why would your F-150 4x4 feel like the front end is bottoming out when you hit a bump even after you replaced the shocks? |
[Edit] |
Answer
It is my understanding that shocks do not provide any "lift", as it were, to a vehicle. They exist to dampen what would other be uncontrollable spring action.
I'm sure that someone with more precise automotive knowledge might add more to any answer I make, but I might look at the springs. They may be what needs to be replaced rather than the shocks.
Also, you do not mention how large the bump is. There is a rubber stop on many suspensions to prevent metal-to-metal contact between the control arms and frame. If the bump were large enough, and the stop worn or missing, this might also be a potential culprit.
I hope that you are able to fix your problem in any case.
