    Hi! I'm new here in tsikot.com.

    I have a 2006 Toyota Vios and I found put that my axle rubber boots were broken. So I had it replaced and had wheel-alignment after. I noticed that my ride got bumpy after the boots replacement. I observed it for a few days, thinking maybe that it was the road that was really bumpy. I suspected that I may have damaged tires, so I replaced the tires but still my ride is bumpy that I have to really go slow on uneven pavements.

    What is the cause of this? Please help.

    Thanks.

    check shock absorber and ensure you are using the recommended tire pressure

    I've tried with different tire pressure, still the same sir.

    The suspension/ride was still okay until it was lifted when the rubber boots were replaced. I've read that shock absorbers sometimes got stuck After lifting, does it mean that the shocks are already damaged? Or is there a way to remedy the stuck? Thanks

    Maybe you were just used to the feel and ride of your car before it got repaired? He bumpy is the ride? Maybe your replacement parts just need a bit of time to be broken in perhaps?

    I hope it gets better in time. When it was just repaired, we even nearly hit our heads on the roof of the car.

    mebbe your shocks ARE stuck. mebbe they need replacement. try to bounce your car body at each corner by pushing down on it several times. if you can't push it down, then your shocks are shot.
