Morning All,
I have noticed while driving my van that over bumps in the road I seem to be getting a bouncy effect on the rear. The van is completely empty and im assuming that the leaf springs on the back are designed to carry some weight.
Is there any way to stop this slight bouncing?
Cheers

Re: Leaf springs bouncing
Possibly worn rear shock absorbers or it could just be because they do ride better with some weight in. Like you said it’s what they are designed for
If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is

Yeah I got that first time 
usually more of a bang than a bounce though IMHO

Re: Leaf springs bouncing
Sorry guys havent been online all weekend due to being away. The van hasnt been lowered at all. Im guessing its probably due to no weight in the rear.
Cheers
