Hi guys, about a month ago I bought my second 6 generation civic, from the same year as the other one, 2001. This civic it seems to have an issue in the rear suspension compared to my other civic, if I measure from the tyre to the arch of the rear wing, there is a bigger space. When driving in pot holes it is really bouncy, it seems that something is loosed in the rear suspension. I’m planning to take off the rear wheels and have a look at the suspension. It looks to me that the trailing arm bushings just have been changed, there are some marks of hammering them in place. I never had any car with shock absorber problems, but when the shock absorbers get messed up, in my situation if it happens in my civic rear suspension, the suspension should be lower than usual, shouldn’t it? Any ideas will be welcome
My civic's rear suspension is too bouncy

Isn't 2001 a 7th gen?
i believe it is..... check ur struts i bet there fukkd
Hi guys,
Here in UK the 6th generation was sold until March 2001. Honestly I'm really surprised that it can be the struts or what we say here in Europe, shock absorbers. I always thought when they get messed up, the suspension would go softer but at the same time the car would go lower because of it

in saying what everyone else is saying lol but it sounds like your shocks are blown and you have high rated springs in the back
